Description
These come out soft, creamy, and just set in the middle, almost like a cross between cheesecake and baked oats. I keep a batch in the fridge for quick breakfasts, and honestly, they reheat better than expected.
Ingredients
- 500 g 2% or full-fat cottage cheese
- 100 g eggs, about 2 large
- 40 g almond flour
- 25 g allulose sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol)
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 2 g cinnamon
- 2 g baking powder
- 25 g ISO protein 100 powder
- Pinch of salt
- 80 g frozen blueberries or small mixed berries
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375⁰F (190⁰C).
- Lightly grease 4 ramekins or small oven-safe jars with butter or cooking spray and set them on a baking tray so they’re easier to move later.
- Add the 500 g cottage cheese, 100 g (2) eggs, 40 g almond flour, 25 g allulose sweetener, 5 ml vanilla extract, 2 g cinnamon, 2 g baking powder, 25 g vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt into a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth, as you don’t want little curds left behind. It should look like thick pancake batter.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and gently fold in about 60 g of the 80 g frozen blueberries. If they’re clumped together, just break them apart a bit.
- Divide the batter evenly between your ramekins.
- Top each one with the remaining blueberries.
- If you’ve got slivered almonds lying around, scatter a few on top, which I did at the last minute.
- Bake for ±25 minutes until the tops are lightly set, and the centres still have a slight wobble. Don’t overbake or they’ll turn dry instead of creamy.
- Let them sit for about 5 minutes before eating.
- They firm up slightly as they cool, but stay soft inside.

Additional information and tips
- Allulose is milder than erythritol, so you might need to adjust. A drizzle of maple syrup after baking works better than adding more sweetener inside.
- If the mixture is not fully smooth, the texture won’t feel right, so be sure that it’s super silky and absolutely no lumps are visible.
- Baking too long ruins the creamy centre, so don’t wait for it to look fully firm.
- “Set centre” doesn’t mean firm like cake. It should still jiggle slightly.
- Can I use fresh berries? Yes, but they bake faster and may sink more.
- Can this be frozen? Yes, freeze once cooled. Wrap well and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently. Texture will be slightly softer.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave in short bursts so they don’t dry out.
Substitutions
- Almond flour: swap with oat flour, same amount, slightly softer texture
- Allulose: use maple syrup or honey, reduce slightly and expect more moisture
- Protein powder: leave out or replace with 1 tbsp extra almond flour. Protein powders vary a lot. Some make this thicker or slightly chalky if overmixed.
- Cottage cheese: full-fat gives the best texture, but 2% works fine
- Blueberries: raspberries or chopped strawberries, just keep them small
