Ingredients
2 cups (500g) cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 cups)
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
4 large eggs
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line two 12-cup muffin tins.
In a large bowl, whisk cottage cheese, mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, honey (or syrup), and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the pan.
