Notes

Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats.”, Dairy-Free: This is trickier, as cottage cheese is a key ingredient. You could try substituting with a dairy-free ricotta alternative, but I haven’t personally tested this. Results are not guaranteed.”

Sugar-Free: Use a sugar-free sweetener, such as stevia or erythritol. Adjust to taste.”,

Other Berries: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.”,
