Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)
Optional toppings: extra honey, Greek yogurt, or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Blend the wet ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly and sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top if desired.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.
Tips and Variations
Make it ahead: Assemble the bake the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake it in the morning for a fresh breakfast.
Add-ins: Stir in chopped nuts, chia seeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture and nutrients.
Swap the fruit: Use raspberries, diced apples, or bananas instead of blueberries.
Dairy-free option: Substitute cottage cheese with a dairy-free alternative like almond or coconut yogurt.
Protein boost: Add a scoop of protein powder to the wet ingredients for an extra protein kick.
