Delightful, healthy bites combining blueberries and lemon zest with creamy cottage cheese, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or light desserts.

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 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; stir until homogenous.
  4. Sift together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt; mix to break up lumps.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet cottage cheese mixture gently.
  6. Fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful to press onto the tops later.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, pressing extra blueberries on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, drain cottage cheese well. Experiment with different fruits or reduce sugar as needed.
