Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, honey, and almond flour. Pour in vanilla extract and salt, then gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula until just combined.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
  3. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator, portion out with a tablespoon or cookie scoop, and roll into tight balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. For a firmer texture, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake the bites for 8-10 minutes until just set.
  5. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: drizzle honey and garnish with blueberries or grated lemon zest.
