Ingredients
  

Protein Bites
  • 1 cup cottage cheese 2% or 4%, blended smooth
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder whey recommended
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats ground into coarse flour
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.25 cup granulated sweetener sugar substitute or sugar
  • 1 lemon zest and 2 tbsp juice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin (12-cup)
  • High-Speed Blender/Food Processor
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin. Grind oats into a coarse flour.
  2. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla until completely smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together ground oats, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  4. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
  5. Spoon batter into muffin tin (3/4 full). Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle with optional lemon glaze before serving.

Notes

To make the sugar-free glaze, mix 1/4 cup powdered sweetener with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Do not overmix the batter or overbake, as this will lead to a tough texture.
