Quick and nutritious snack bites featuring cottage cheese, blueberries, and a hint of lemon zest.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan generously.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until the oats are broken down and the mixture is well-combined.
  4. Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Evenly distribute the batter across the mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until they’re firm to the touch and lightly golden.
  8. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup. For longer storage, freeze bites in a freezer-safe container.
