This Queen of Quick flourless blintz cupcake recipe is kosher, easy and perfect to curb your sweet cravings or bring to a holiday gathering.
This recipe only takes six ingredients total, with the main ingredients being farmer cheese, eggs and coconut sugar. I often substitute regular sugar with coconut sugar as it’s a less refined option. I also like to add a bit of lemon juice to balance the sweet flavor.
While farmer cheese and eggs can be a great source of protein, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we should try to limit an excess amount of dairy in our diets. Too much dairy can cause feelings of sluggishness and promote the production of mucus. Much like everything, all in moderation!
