Description
Banana Chocolate Cottage Cheese Soft Breakfast Donuts are tender baked breakfast donuts made with cottage cheese, ripe banana, honey, vanilla, and mini chocolate chips for a cozy morning treat that tastes like banana chocolate chip cake in donut form. These soft baked donuts are lightly sweet, protein-friendly, easy to make, and perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, snacks, meal prep, lunchboxes, or pairing with coffee. The cottage cheese blends smoothly into the batter to keep every donut moist, soft, and satisfying without making the recipe feel heavy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan well.
- Add the cottage cheese, ripe banana, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter to a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently so they are evenly distributed.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the donuts are soft, puffed, and lightly golden.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing and serving.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for the best natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Blend the cottage cheese completely so the batter turns smooth.
- Do not overmix after adding the flour or the donuts may become dense.
- Grease the donut pan well so the soft donuts release cleanly.
- Mini chocolate chips work best because they spread evenly through the batter.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and warm briefly before serving.
