Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: sliced almonds, powdered sugar, or additional fresh blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with a light coat of cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
- Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
- Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a few for topping if desired.
Step 5: Bake
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle any reserved blueberries on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Allow the bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work well, but if using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture.
- Oats Substitution: Swap rolled oats for quick oats for a slightly different texture.
- Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of lemon zest for an aromatic twist.
