Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 pint blueberries
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, quick cooking oats, eggs, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir everything together until the mixture is well incorporated. Then, gently fold in the fresh blueberries to ensure they remain intact and distributed throughout the batter.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly spray a 12-count muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the bites from sticking. Evenly spoon the batter mixture into each muffin cup, filling them appropriately.
- Bake the Bites: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 21 minutes, or until the bites are set and slightly golden on top. Once baked, remove the tin and allow the bites to cool for several minutes before serving warm. Note that these bites are delicate, so use a metal kitchen spoon to gently remove them from the tin.
Notes
- These bites are delicate; remove them gently with a metal kitchen spoon to avoid breaking.
- Quick oats can be substituted with rolled oats for a slightly different texture, though the cooking time may need to be adjusted accordingly.
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
