Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup milk or almond milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, melted butter (or coconut oil), ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Oats: Stir in the rolled oats gently until they are evenly coated by the wet mixture, ensuring an even bake and firm texture.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries so they are distributed throughout the batter without breaking them up too much.
  5. Assemble and Top: Pour the prepared mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Then sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top for a crunchy finish.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top has turned a light golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or chilled for a refreshing option.

Notes

  • Use almond milk to keep the dish dairy-light or to make it lactose-friendly.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are not available; no need to thaw.
  • Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on sweetness preference.
  • To make the dish vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based cottage cheese alternatives.
  • The bake can be stored refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
