Strawberry Lemon Banana Cottage Cheese Oat Cookies

Ingredients:
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup diced strawberries

Methods:

Heat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the cottage cheese, banana, eggs, honey, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
In a bowl, mix the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the diced strawberries gently so they stay in little juicy pieces.
Scoop mounds onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly because these cookies hold their shape more than they spread.
Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let them cool a few minutes so they stay soft and tender.
