Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese creamy richness and high-protein base
  • 1 cup rolled oats fiber and structure; substitute with quick oats if desired
  • 1 large egg binds ingredients; a flax egg can be used for a vegan option
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup natural sweetener; adjust to preferred sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances overall flavor; use pure extract for best results
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest adds zesty flavor without acidity; avoid lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp baking powder ensures a light texture; no substitutions recommended
  • a pinch salt balances and amplifies flavors
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries offers sweetness and antioxidants; do not thaw if using frozen

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • mini muffin pan

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 24-cup mini muffin pan by greasing each cup.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Fill the greased mini muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  7. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
