Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Opt for low-fat cottage cheese if you prefer a lighter version.
  • 2 pieces eggs Use large free-range eggs for the best flavor and freshness.
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup Customize based on sweetness preference; pure maple syrup adds a lovely flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Real vanilla extract enhances the bake's overall flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and pairs perfectly with blueberries.
  • ½ cup milk Any milk works—whole, almond, or oat.
  • ½ cup oat flour or all-purpose flour Whole oat flour adds fiber; all-purpose flour also works.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Ensure it’s fresh for the right rise.
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Fresh berries add juicy bursts, but frozen works well too.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Stir in the milk, then add the oat flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and level it out with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is firm to the touch.
  7. Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.

Notes

For storage: Once cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. For make-ahead, prep the batter the night before and bake in the morning.
