Description
Delicious handheld snacks with crispy edges and a creamy, custardy center, featuring blueberries and a zing of lemon zest.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Zest of 1 large lemon (~1 tbsp)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet.
- Mix cottage cheese, egg, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth-ish; the mixture should have streaks of creaminess.
- Stir in oats, baking powder, and salt until combined; batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons onto the sheet and flatten each slightly.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden and tops look set but still soft.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a rack to keep bottoms crisp.
Notes
Do not thaw blueberries to prevent sogginess. For extra crunch, spray tops lightly with oil before baking.
