Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
  2. In your blender, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.

  7. Let the bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
