Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a mini muffin tin. -
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until mostly smooth. -
Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in oats, baking powder, and salt until combined. -
Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, add them straight from the freezer. -
Bake
Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling almost to the top.
Bake for 14–16 minutes, until set and lightly golden. -
Cool
Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.
Notes
-
Use rolled oats, not instant, for the best texture.
-
For a smoother, muffin-like bite, blend the cottage cheese and eggs before mixing.
-
Let the batter rest 5 minutes before baking to help the oats hydrate.
-
Store in the fridge up to 5 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
