- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Seasonings and Leavening Agents:
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 350°F and coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, ensuring every corner is covered.
- Whisk 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla, and ¼ cup milk until completely smooth and silky.
- Add ½ cup oat flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt into the liquid mixture, stirring until no dry clumps remain.
- Carefully fold ½ cup blueberries into the batter, along with ¼ cup chopped nuts and 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra texture.
- Transfer the entire batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a level surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 32-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and firm center.
- Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bake rest for 8 minutes, allowing it to set and cool slightly.
- Slice into squares and garnish with a drizzle of honey, dollop of yogurt, or handful of fresh berries.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese mixture creates an ultra-smooth, silky texture that makes this breakfast bake extra creamy.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries work perfectly, so don’t stress if you’re using frozen berries straight from the freezer.
- For a protein boost, sprinkle chopped almonds or chia seeds into the batter before baking to add extra nutrition and crunch.
- Dairy-free friends can swap cottage cheese for plant-based alternatives like tofu or almond-based yogurt to make this recipe completely vegan-friendly.
