Ingredients

0.5 cup cottage cheese Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese for different textures and moisture levels.
1 large egg Ensure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing into the batter.
0.5 cup oat flour Can be made by blending rolled oats until fine; ensures a gluten-free option.
2 tbsp honey Natural sweetener; adjust quantity to personal taste or substitute with maple syrup.
0.5 cup fresh blueberries Fold in gently to prevent crushing; frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
1 tsp baking powder Leavening agent to help the donut holes rise and become fluffy.
1 pinch salt Balances sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the donut holes.
