High Protein Cottage Cheese Vanilla Muffins

 

Toppings:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with paper cases.

2. Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the cottage cheese and castor sugar, then beat well.

3. Add in the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla essence until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and protein powder.

5. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold together gently with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix).

6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffins cases. Top one-third with raspberries, one-third with blueberries and one-third with chocolate chips.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.

8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
