Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly firm and lightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes. Optionally, drizzle with additional honey and sprinkle extra blueberries on top.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
