Instructions
0 Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Blend your [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups cottage cheese" uid="6"], and make [wprm-ingredient text="1/4 cup hot coffee" uid="14"]. 2 NOTE! The easiest way to blend cottage cheese is to blend the whole tub. If you don't have enough cottage cheese in the blender, it won't work. So, either blend all of it, use an immersion blender, or pop the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla into the blender and blend until all the curds are gone. 1 Mash the [wprm-ingredient text="2 bananas" uid="12"] in a large bowl then add the [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups cottage cheese" uid="6"] (blended), [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 cup melted butter" uid="7"], [wprm-ingredient text="3 eggs" uid="8"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 tbsp vanilla extract" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 cup maple syrup" uid="10"], and mix well until combined. 3 Then add the [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 cup almond flour" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="1/3 cup cocoa powder" uid="11"], [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 cup ground flax seeds" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="2.5 tsp baking powder" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 tsp baking soda" uid="4"], and [wprm-ingredient text="3/4 tsp salt" uid="5"], and gently fold it all together (it will be a bit lumpy still). 4 Next, add your [wprm-ingredient text="1/4 cup hot coffee" uid="14"] to the batter and give it a good mix. Then, gently fold in the [wprm-ingredient text="1.5 cups chocolate chips" uid="13"]. 5 Then scoop into a lined muffin tin, filling only every other one. This is key to getting tall, bakery-style muffins. Fill them really full, almost domed. You’ll have to work in batches, but it’s worth it! 6 Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. (If you're making mini muffins bake for 15 minutes.) 7 Remove from the oven. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely (like 30 minutes) for the center to be fully baked. Then, enjoy!View original recipe
