Delicious and easy-to-make blueberry and lemon zest bites, perfect for a healthy snack, breakfast, or light dessert.

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.
  3. Add the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon zest, stirring until homogenous.
  4. Sift the almond flour (or all-purpose flour), baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and mix to break up lumps.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until no streaks remain.
  6. Add the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful to press onto the tops later.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and press extra blueberries on top.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use whole-milk cottage cheese. Can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for a month.
