Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 375°F for mini muffins). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a food processor, blend the ripe bananas and cottage cheese until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the eggs to the banana and cottage cheese mixture and blend until fully combined, about 20 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground flaxseed, and optional hemp seeds.
  5. Pour the wet banana-cottage cheese mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes for regular muffins, or 10-12 minutes for mini muffins. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
