Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this beautiful bake:

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional: lemon zest for brightness

Necessary Tools for Preparation

Mixing bowls
Hand whisk or electric mixer
Rubber spatula
8×8-inch baking dish
Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)

Possible Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Fruit Swap: Swap blueberries for raspberries, diced peaches, or strawberries!
Flour Options: Almond flour works beautifully if you want a grain-free version.
Sweetener Alternatives: Try agave syrup or even a sugar-free option if preferred.
Add-ins: Chopped nuts, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a handful of shredded coconut take it up a notch!

How to Make Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries (and lemon zest, if using) with a spatula.
Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Let it cool slightly before slicing into squares. (If you can wait — the smell is irresistible!)

Watch the bake time: Every oven is different — start checking around 35 minutes.

Can I double the recipe?
You sure can! Bake in a 9×13-inch dish and add 5-10 extra minutes to the bake time.

Is this keto-friendly?
Not quite as written, but you could swap oat flour for almond flour and use a keto-friendly sweetener.
