Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Choose according to your preference.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp zest of 1 large lemon Approximately 1 tablespoon.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Do not thaw if frozen.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, oats, egg, honey, vanilla, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until the oats are broken down and everything is well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a bowl and gently fold in the blueberries.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Divide the batter among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bites feel firm to the touch and have a light golden color.
  7. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days and freeze well for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy later.
