Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
In a high-speed blender, blend the cottage cheese, milk, oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, using a rubber spatula to ensure nothing is left in the blender.
Stir the mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips last.
Spoon the muffin batter evenly into a lined muffin tin and sprinkle more chocolate chips on top.
Bake on the lower middle rack for 17 to 19 minutes. Check with a toothpick starting around 15-16 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Consider using mini chocolate chips for a different texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze for longer storage.
You can substitute honey for the maple syrup if preferred.
