Ingredients

1 ripe banana
2 cups rolled oats
½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup almond milk
2 eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips with more for sprinkling on top.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease muffin pan with nonstick spray.
In a high-powered blender, add ingredients as listed, stopping before the chocolate chips.
Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed and adding more milk if too thick.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken up. Stir in chocolate chips.
Divide batter evenly amongst muffin pans. Top with a few more chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a Ripe Banana: For the best flavor and natural sweetness, make sure your banana is nice and ripe before using it.
Let the Batter Rest Before Stirring in the Chocolate Chips: After blending everything smooth, let the batter sit for 5 minutes before stirring in the chocolate chips. This allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture and thickens the batter so the chips don't all sink straight to the bottom.
Don't Skip the Vanilla: 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract makes a huge difference in these muffins. It elevates the whole flavor!
