Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour in the milk and mix until a thick batter forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
  8. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
