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
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir well to remove any lumps.
- In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), mash the ripe bananas and cottage cheese together until mostly smooth.
- Mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
