Description

These cottage cheese muffins are soft, flully, and packed with protein! Naturally sweetened with honey and bananas, they’re a great healthy breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 bananas, ripe (360g or about 1 1/4 cup)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (I used 4% milk fat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir well to remove any lumps.
  3. In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), mash the ripe bananas and cottage cheese together until mostly smooth.
  4. Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Use a 1/4 cup scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to settle the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 3-5 minutes of baking.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
