Banana Chocolate Chip Cottage Cheese Pancake Muffins

Ingredients:
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Methods:

Heat oven to 350 F and grease a muffin pan well so the pancake muffins release cleanly after baking.
Blend the cottage cheese, bananas, eggs, milk, honey, and vanilla until smooth and airy.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full so they rise nicely.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until puffed, lightly golden, and set in the center.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They stay soft and fluffy with sweet banana flavor and little chocolate pockets in every bite.
