Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese Ensure it's at room temperature for a smoother blend.
  • 2 large eggs Using large eggs helps with the bake's structure.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Choose your preferred natural sweetener for this delicious bake.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A touch of vanilla enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds a warm, comforting spice note to the bake.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats Old-fashioned oats work best for texture and absorption.
  • 1/2 cup almond milk Feel free to use any milk you have on hand, such as dairy or soy milk.
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the mixture.
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts Almonds or walnuts add a delightful crunch and healthy fats, if using.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds Boosts fiber and healthy omega-3s, but can be omitted if preferred.
  • 5 g cooking spray or butter For generously greasing your baking dish to prevent sticking.

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth.
  3. Stir in the oats and almond milk, mixing until everything is well combined. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly.
  4. Gently fold in blueberries, chopped nuts (if using), and chia seeds (if using), being careful not to burst the berries. Distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm. This allows the bake to set properly.

Notes

This breakfast bake is wonderfully versatile! Feel free to experiment with different berries or a mix of your favorite fruits. It's also great for meal prep, as leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days and reheated.
