Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, honey, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the cottage cheese mixture. Stir until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter carefully to avoid breaking them and to maintain the batter’s texture.
  5. Shape Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion out the batter and shape into balls with lightly dampened hands to prevent sticking.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the shaped batter balls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they have enough space between each to cook evenly.
  7. Cook: Air fry the bites for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to develop a golden brown outside and ensure they are cooked through.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from the air fryer once done and serve warm to enjoy their optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once blueberries are added to prevent them from bursting and creating a watery batter.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries can be used but may release more moisture.
  • Lightly dampen your hands with water when shaping the batter into balls to avoid sticking.
  • These bites are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated.
  • Check your air fryer model’s capacity as batch size might need adjusting to avoid overcrowding.
  • Allergy advisory: Contains egg and dairy; oat flour is gluten-free but ensure oats are certified gluten-free if required.
