Banana Muffins with Cottage Cheese


  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Description

Moist and fluffy banana muffins made with creamy cottage cheese for extra protein and a tender crumb. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 23 bananas)
1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, cottage cheese, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
