Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Add the cottage cheese to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.

Add the eggs, buttermilk, honey or maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract.

Blend until smooth and well combined.

Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.

Pulse or blend briefly, just until the batter is smooth and the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, if using.

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.

Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chunks over the tops, if desired.

Bake for 1820 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool further.
