- ½ teaspoon cinnamon

- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)
- Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1. Blend the Protein Base
- Add cottage cheese, egg whites, whole eggs, honey or syrup, vanilla extract, and protein powder to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no curds.
- 2. Add Dry Ingredients
- Pour the mixture into a bowl.
- Stir in oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
- 3. Fold in Blueberries
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
- 4. Bake
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Lightly grease 4 oven-safe ramekins or one small baking dish.
Divide mixture evenly and bake for 25–30 minutes, until centers are just set and tops are lightly golden.
