Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and cottage cheese, mixing until smooth and well combined.

3.Add the powdered chocolate, protein powder, rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the banana mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

4.In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then fold them into the muffin batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5.Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7.Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
