Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup protein powder use your favorite flavor
- 4 eggs large, room temperature
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup sweetener your preferred sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese and blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the blender and blend again until everything is well combined.
- To the same blender, add the protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Blend until the batter is smooth, making sure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. If you love extra chocolate, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top!
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The tops should be firm and spring back slightly when touched.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the muffins are done!
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
