Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups cottage cheese
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1½ cups rolled oats or oat flour
  • 3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the baking dish

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 8×8-inch baking dish
  • Baking paper or cooking spray
  • Sharp knife for slicing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the blended mixture with oats, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until the batter is evenly mixed.
  4. Fold blueberries gently into the batter using a spatula to keep them whole and evenly spread.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the top turns lightly golden and the center is firm.
  7. Allow the bake to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm or chilled with yogurt, extra blueberries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries without thawing if fresh berries are unavailable.
  • For a sweeter breakfast, add extra honey or maple syrup after baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual slices for 20–30 seconds in the microwave.
  • Add cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor without changing the texture.
