Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your muffins bake evenly and rise perfectly.
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cottage cheese, olive oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
