Blender Banana Cottage Cheese
Chocolate Chip Muffins
freezer friends | high in protein
Well… it happened. The most popular recipe on my blog got a chocolate upgrade.
And honestly? This version is dangerous. I’m a sucker for dark chocolate and in a muffin that has added protein so it’s healthy for you – I’ll take 2!
If you’ve made my Blender Banana Cottage Cheese Muffins, you already know — they’re soft, easy, high in protein, and somehow taste way better than a “healthy muffin” should.
So naturally… I added dark chocolate. Because balance.
These Blender Banana & Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Muffins are gluten-free, protein-packed, naturally sweetened with bananas, and blended together in minutes.
And yes — you absolutely won’t feel guilty having two.
Why These Muffins Work
- Gluten free
- High protein

The Secret Ingredient: Cottage Cheese
Before you panic — no, they don’t taste like cottage cheese. Promise.
It blends right into the batter and gives these muffins:
- extra protein
- moisture
- soft texture
- more staying power
So instead of crashing after breakfast…These actually keep you full.

Let’s Talk About The Chocolate
Dark chocolate chips are the move here. Semi-sweet work great too – I love using these mini chips from Enjoy Life.
The banana keeps the muffins naturally sweet, while the dark chocolate makes them feel like an actual bakery muffin instead of “health food pretending to be dessert.” Big difference.
Bonus and Pro Move: using mini chips works best in this recipe – little morsels of chocolate are so good.
Chef Tip
Let the muffins cool completely before storing them.The texture gets even better.
And yes — warm with a little butter? Unreal.

Simple ingredients. Extra protein. Minimal effort.And enough chocolate to make them feel fun.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Line muffin tins with paper liners. Lightly spray with coconut oil (optional). Set a side.
- In a blender bowl, mix on low the bananas, cottage cheese and salted butter until everything is fully combined. Pour in the honey, eggs and vanilla extract. Again on low, mix to combine for a few seconds.
- Pour into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Fold in with a rubber spatula. Make sure everything is well mixed and no flour is showing.
- Pour the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins. I like using an ice cream or cookie scoop so the muffins are about the same size and bake evenly.
- Place in your preheated oven and cook for 16-18 minutes or until they are slightly browned, cooked in the middle and spring back when you touch the centers.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing into.
Notes
To store these muffins, put them in a container and into your refrigerator.
