High-Protein Baked Raspberry Cottage Cheese Cups (Easy & Gluten-Free)

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

These High-Protein Baked Raspberry Cottage Cheese Cups are proof that healthy desserts can be just as indulgent as classic cheesecake. Made with blended cottage cheese for a smooth, custard-like texture, these gluten-free cups are lightly sweetened, naturally high in protein, and bursting with juicy raspberries. Perfect for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or a wholesome breakfast, they come together in minutes using a blender and simple pantry staples.


  • Total Time33 minutes
  • Yield4 cottage cheese cups 1x
  • DietGluten Free

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (4% preferred, 2% works)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp oat flour or almond flour

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 3/4 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, do not thaw)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease four 6–8 oz ramekins and place them on a baking tray.

  2. Blend the Batter
    Add cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, flour, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

  3. Fill the Ramekins
    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.

  4. Add the Raspberries
    Gently press raspberries into the surface of each cup, distributing evenly.

  5. Bake
    Bake for 25–28 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set with a slight jiggle.

  6. Cool & Serve
    Remove from oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes. Serve warm or chill for a firmer, cheesecake-like texture.

Notes

  1. Full-fat cottage cheese yields the creamiest texture.
  2. Do not overbake; slight jiggle in the center ensures a custardy finish.
  3. These cups firm up further after chilling.
  4. Store refrigerated for up to 4 days.
