Zitronen-Heidelbeer-Mini-Muffins

Lemon Blueberry Mini Muffins

These lemon-blueberry mini muffins are a light, fruity, and naturally sweetened baked good – perfect for breakfast, a snack, or as meal prep for the week. The combination of cottage cheese, banana, and oat flour makes them pleasantly moist, while the lemon and blueberries add a fresh, summery touch. They are also completely free of refined sugar and quick and easy to prepare.

Effect on the constitutions:

  • Lung (Wind type): The mildly sweet, soft, and nourishing ingredients such as banana, eggs, and cottage cheese have a calming and balancing effect on Lung.

  • Tripa (Fire type): The fresh lemon and juicy blueberries have a cooling effect and can gently balance excess heat in Tripa.

  • Beken (Earth-Water type): The light, fruity recipe with little sugar and moderate sweetness puts less strain on Beken than heavy, heavily sweetened baked goods.

Ingredients (makes approx. 12 mini bites)

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ ripe banana, mashed
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup plain almond protein porridge
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ⅓ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C.
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.

2. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, mashed banana, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Blend everything with a mixer or whisk until smooth.

Then add the almond protein porridge, baking powder, and salt and mix briefly until a batter forms. Finally, gently fold in the blueberries.

3. Fill the muffin liners evenly with the batter (approx. ¾ full).
Bake for 12–15 minutes until the tops are firm and lightly golden brown.

4. Let the mini muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Silicone muffin liners make them easier to remove.
  • Perfect for meal prep: They keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  • For extra flavor before serving, drizzle with Greek yogurt or a light lemon glaze.
