  • spatula
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of fresh blueberries, the zest of one lemon, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just blended, ensuring you do not crush the blueberries.
  2. Next, sprinkle in 1 cup of almond flour and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue to fold gently with your spatula until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Using your hands, take tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced a couple of inches apart.
  4. If you choose to bake your bites, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should turn lightly golden on the edges and become slightly firm to the touch.
  6. After baking, remove the tray from the oven and let the bites cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bites as a refreshing and nutritious snack!
