Cottage Cheese Buns Recipe
These cottage cheese buns are soft, lightly sweetened, and packed with protein, making them a wholesome choice for breakfast or a snack. Filled with creamy Greek yogurt and topped with fresh blueberries or blackberries, they’re easy to make and delicious served warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 500 grams pressed cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- Pinch of salt
- 8 teaspoons Greek yogurt
- Fresh blueberries or blackberries about 24–32 berries total
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine pressed cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten slightly to form a thick cookie shape. Using your fingers, gently press the center of each bun to create a small indentation.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of Greek yogurt in the center of each bun. Add 3–4 blueberries or blackberries on top of the yogurt.
- Place buns on the prepared baking tray. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
- For extra golden color, I usually broil for 1–2 minutes while watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Allow buns to cool slightly before serving.
