Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

2 ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs
¾ cup cottage cheese
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

1 cup oat flour or blended rolled oats
½ cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt

Optional Ingredient

¼ cup walnuts finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla. Use an immersion blender or whisk well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together: oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Tip: do not overmix or you'll end up with dense muffins.
Fold in the walnuts now if you're using them.
Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes prior to removing from muffin tin. This allows the muffin to set and prevents it from falling apart.

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

To freeze, let the muffins cool completely, then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or foil. Place the wrapped muffins in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds until warm.
