Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

3 medium ripe bananas
2 eggs
½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup peanut butter creamy
2 tbsp butter room temperature
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder or what/all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl

2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter melted
1 tbsp maple syrup

Glaze

3 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12-muffin tin with liners and spray them with oil to cover the bottom and the sides.
Add all of the wet ingredients into a food processor or a blender. Pulse or blend until all the ingredients blend well. Transfer into a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
Sift the mixture of dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do it in 4 batches and mix throughout to form a thicker batter.
Transfer the batter into the muffin tin and form 12 muffins.
Finally, in a small bowl, combine cinnamon swirl ingredients.
Top up each muffin with the swirl mixture and then, using a knife, swirl the top of the muffin to create a cinnamon roll effect.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when you insert it.
While the muffins are baking, mix all of the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.
Once the muffins have baked, let them cool down for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle each muffin with glaze and serve.
