Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with melted butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of the blueberries into the batter, reserving the remaining ½ cup to sprinkle on top later.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread it out. Scatter the reserved blueberries over the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a drizzle of extra honey or maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey if desired for a vegan option.
  • Feel free to use frozen blueberries; just do not thaw them before adding to avoid excess moisture.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture, or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • This breakfast bake stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, ensure you use certified gluten-free oats.
