  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or erythritol)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  2. In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, sweetener, and salt until smooth and blended.
  3. Carefully fold the blueberries into the mixture to keep them juicy and whole.
  4. Pour the batter into greased ramekins or a baking dish for even cooking.

  6. Allow the bowls to cool slightly before serving, so they are warm but comfortable to eat.

Notes

For smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese with other ingredients using a blender or food processor to avoid lumps., For fluffier bowls, separate eggs and whip egg whites to soft peaks, then gently fold into batter., Alternative flours like oat flour or coconut flour can be used instead of almond flour for a different texture., Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavors and balances sweetness., Optional toppings: drizzle honey or maple syrup, sprinkle chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), or serve with a scoop of Greek yogurt for extra richness and protein., Flavor variations include swapping blueberries for mashed bananas, adding dark chocolate chips, or stirring in peanut or almond butter for nutty flavor and protein., Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available; fold them in while still frozen to prevent excess juice., To make vegan, replace eggs with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use a plant-based sweetener., Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
