Paulina Cocina, a popular online cooking personality, has released a recipe for blueberry oatmeal squares designed as a light and healthy snack option. The recipe, which has gained traction on social media platforms including YouTube and TikTok, emphasizes simplicity and accessibility, requiring no sugar and utilizing common pantry staples.
The squares are made with a combination of two eggs, half a cup of milk, the juice and zest of two limes (or one lemon), a dash of oil, half a cup of oats, a cup of quinoa flour, a teaspoon of baking powder, and blueberries. According to reports, the resulting product is described as exceptionally soft, balancing sweetness with a citrus tang. The recipe was shared initially on platforms like Instagram in March 2025, garnering over 54,000 likes, and has since expanded to other social media channels.
Cocina’s recipe is specifically targeted towards individuals seeking a healthier alternative to traditional desserts or snacks. A report from elintransigente.com highlights the recipe’s appeal to those wanting something “dulce pero liviano” – sweet but light. The ease of preparation and minimal ingredient list contribute to its popularity, with the recipe being touted as a solution for quick afternoon cravings.
Notably, the recipe is adaptable. Cocina has indicated that blueberries can be omitted without significantly impacting the flavor, resulting in a more pronounced lemon taste. Alternative citrus fruits, such as oranges or limes, can also be substituted for the lemon, offering variations on the core recipe. The squares are freezer-friendly, allowing for convenient storage and consumption at a later date.
A video demonstration of the recipe is available on YouTube, posted by Paulina Cocina, and has received significant engagement. The TikTok video promoting the recipe has garnered over 34,000 likes, demonstrating the broad reach of Cocina’s culinary content.
