  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup almond flour

2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  • Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, almond flour, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and baking powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecakes are firm and lightly golden on top.

  • Cool and Refrigerate: Let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow them to set.

Notes

  • Add Fruit Toppings: Top with fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a refreshing twist.

  • Sugar-Free Option: Use a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit for a low-sugar version.

  • Chocolate Lovers: Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder or dark chocolate chips for a rich chocolate-flavored cheesecake.

  • Lemon Zest: Add lemon zest to the mixture for an extra citrusy kick.

  • Crust Option: Add a layer of crushed almonds or a low-carb graham cracker alternative at the bottom of each muffin tin.
