2. Beat egg whites: In a medium bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.

3. Mix ingredients: In another bowl, combine the soy flour, cottage cheese, water, vanilla extract, Splenda, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.

4. Incorporate egg whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter mixture until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much; they provide lightness to the muffins.

5. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway.

6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
