Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup rolled oats
Flavorings
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt evenly into the wet mixture to combine all flavors.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
- Bake the mixture: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake and cool: Bake the mixture for 35 minutes or until the center is set and the top turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones; just do not thaw them before adding.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
- Sweetness level can be adjusted by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- This bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Optional toppings like chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt can enhance texture and flavor.
