INGREDIENTS:

INGREDIENT NOTES:
LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:
- We use this as the main component to make the creamy texture of the bowls. It gives a cheesecake-like texture to the baked mixture. You may use plain low-fat Greek yogurt as a substitute.
ROLLED OATS:
- They give fiber and make the bowls filling. Rolled oats absorb some of the liquid while baking and give a tender texture. Include quick oats if you are not using rolled oats.
UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:
- It makes the cottage cheese mixture loose and provides it with a smooth consistency. You may use soy milk, skim milk, or any other unsweetened milk as per your preference.
ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:
- This sweetener provides a sweet taste without adding sugar or calories. It works well because the blueberries give natural sweetness. You may use maple syrup as another idea.
COOKING SPRAY:
- It keeps the baked mixture from sticking to the ramekins. You may lightly brush baking dishes with a small amount of oil if not using cooking spray.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 350°F and coat the dishes with cooking spray.
- Blend low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and lemon juice in the blender.
- Gently fold 3/4 cup of blueberries into the mixture, then add the mixture evenly into four baking dishes.
- Scatter the remaining blueberries on the tops and put the dishes on the sheet to bake for 30 minutes.
- Lastly, cool the dishes for ten minutes after removing from the oven, then serve.
