Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup oats or oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the oats (or oat flour) and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  4. Fold Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to combine without overmixing. Then gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care to keep them intact.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving to let it set for perfect slicing or scooping.

Notes

  • Bring eggs to room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the bake light and airy.
  • Use fresh blueberries when possible to avoid excess moisture.
  • A glass baking dish promotes even baking and browning.
  • Check doneness starting at 25 minutes to prevent overcooking.
