→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
05 - 2 tablespoons milk
06 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
07 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
09 - 1/4 cup finely diced strawberries

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.
02 - Combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, maple syrup, and cooled melted butter in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder until evenly blended.
04 - Pour the blended wet mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, then gently fold in the diced strawberries.
05 - Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, making approximately 18 portions. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the bites are lightly golden.
06 - Let the bites cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, avoid over-mixing after adding flour; gently fold to keep bites tender. Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on strawberry sweetness.
