Description
This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is a wholesome, high-protein morning option that’s both satisfying and naturally sweet. Blending the ingredients gives it a custard-like texture, while keeping it chunky makes it heartier—choose your favorite! Packed with oats, eggs, blueberries, and cottage cheese, it’s a nourishing way to start the day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluff)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or individual ramekins.
For a smoother, custard-like texture, blend the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, cinnamon, and baking powder until creamy. For a chunkier bake, whisk everything together in a bowl without blending.
Gently fold in the blueberries and pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set in the center.
Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as-is or top with Greek yogurt, nuts, or an extra drizzle of honey.
