Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2 Mash the [wprm-ingredient text="2 bananas" uid="13"] in a large bowl then add the [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups cottage cheese" uid="8"] (blended), [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 cup butter" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="3 eggs" uid="10"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 tbsp vanilla extract" uid="11"], [wprm-ingredient text="3/4 cup maple syrup" uid="12"], and [wprm-ingredient text="m" uid="13"]ix well until combined.NOTE! The easiest way to blend cottage cheese is to blend the whole tub. If you don't have enough 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 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="1/2 cup ground flax seeds" uid="2"] [wprm-ingredient text="1 tsp cinnamon" uid="3"] [wprm-ingredient text="1/4 tsp nutmeg" uid="4"] [wprm-ingredient text="2.5 tsps baking powder " uid="5"] [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 tsp baking soda," uid="6"] and [wprm-ingredient text="3/4 tsp salt " uid="7"]and gently fold it all together (it will be a bit lumpy still). 3 Gently fold in the [wprm-ingredient text="1 cups chocolate chips" uid="14"]. 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!For extra yumminess, top with a cinnamon sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar to 1 tbsp cinnamon) before baking. 4 Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Mini ones only bake for 15 or so minutes. 5 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
