Cranberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Submitted by dwayne 2

"A high protein, low fat berry muffin. I used Cranberries because that's what I had on hand, but I'd think Blueberries or Saskatoons would work just as well. By my calculations the protein in each muffin is 15 grams The fat free cottage cheese is also dry. if you use wet, you'll need to reduce the number of eggs."
