Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour or blended oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking dish with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides to prevent sticking while baking.
Blend Wet Ingredients
- In a blender, add cottage cheese, eggs, milk, honey and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy. This step gives the bake a soft texture.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, chia seeds and salt. Stir well so everything mixes evenly.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Pour the blended mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until combined. Do not overmix. The batter should look thick but smooth.
Add Blueberries
- Fold blueberries into the batter carefully. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them. This prevents extra moisture in the bake.
Pour into Baking Dish
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly using a spatula. Make sure the blueberries are evenly distributed.
Bake Until Set
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The top should look golden. Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Slice into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for best texture.
Notes
- Blend cottage cheese for smoother texture.
- Use fresh blueberries for brighter flavor.
- Do not overbake to keep it moist.
- Add lemon zest for fresh taste.
- Replace honey with sugar-free sweetener if needed.
- Store slices for easy meal prep.
