Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Muffins

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F . Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
1 In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
2 In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4 Fold in the chocolate chips gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5 Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
7 Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
