Delightful, healthy bites featuring creamy cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, and zesty lemon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, well drained
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for a lighter texture)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • Cooking spray or a little melted butter for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. Whisk together the drained cottage cheese and beaten eggs until mostly smooth, leaving a few small curds for texture.
  3. Add the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix together the almond flour (or all-purpose flour), baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful for topping.
  7. Fill the muffin tin with the batter, pressing extra blueberries on top for garnish.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle with extra honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider sprinkling chopped nuts before baking. Ensure cottage cheese is well-drained.
