Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup cottage cheese, full fat or low fat
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, blend the cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Fold in the fresh blueberries gently.
Scoop mounds of batter onto your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for the best texture. Texture Check: Ensure your egg whites reach firm, stiff peaks. Substitutions: Swap blueberries for raspberries or sugar-free chocolate chips. Add a tablespoon of collagen or protein powder for a boost. Variations: Add lemon zest for brightness or omit fruit/sweetener for a savory version with chives.
