Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup rolled oats

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is evenly mixed to develop the base texture and flavor.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the mixture, taking care not to crush them, to distribute bursts of flavor throughout the bake.
  5. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly for consistent cooking.
  6. Bake and cool: Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to let it set fully.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to prevent excess moisture.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • Ensure not to overmix when folding in blueberries to keep them intact and maintain texture.
  • This bake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
