Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup crushed pecans or walnuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Blend cottage cheese/yogurt, protein powder, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth
Press 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture (almond flour, crushed nuts, salt) into 24 silicone muffin molds
Spoon 1/3 cup filling into each prepared mold
Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm
Run a butter knife around the edges and pop each bite out
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Notes
Use stevia or monk fruit instead of honey for lower sugar content
Substitute coconut oil for lemon juice for extra richness
Freeze for 30 minutes for firmer texture
Add mashed berries or cocoa powder to the crust for variation
