Equipment

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp avocado oil
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
2 cups almond flour
⅓ cup tapioca flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are well combined.
Mix together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt in a separate bowl to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the muffin batter to the prepared muffin tin, filling the holes ⅔ to all the way up. I like making larger muffins, so I fill the muffin holes up all the way and make 9 large muffins.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins test clean. Insert a digital thermometer in the center of one of the muffins. They are ready if the internal temperature is 190 degrees F or higher.
Remove the muffins from the oven and place them on a cooling rack (I use my stove top) to cool completely. Allow the muffins to cool to room temperature before peeling off the paper liners to enjoy one. If the muffins are still warm when you peel off the liner, you’ll lose some of the muffin to the liner.
