Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
1/2 cup cottage cheese, well drained
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cottage cheese, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
