Blueberry and Lemon Zest Cottage Cheese Bites

A simple and delicious snack packed with nutrients, featuring a blend of sweet blueberries and bright lemon zest.

  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 24 mini bites 1x

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
