  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Blend cottage cheese, eggs, and honey until completely smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour and baking powder together.
  3. Fold the wet mixture into the dry, then gently stir in lemon zest and whole blueberries.
  4. Scoop into molds and bake for 22-25 minutes until golden-brown spots appear. Cool before serving.

Ensure you blend the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid a lumpy texture.
Use fresh blueberries for the best 'burst' effect and violet juice swirls.
