# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup cottage cheese
02 -
2 eggs
03 -
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
½ teaspoon cinnamon
06 -
½ cup milk
07 -
½ cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
08 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
09 -
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish - an 8x8 inch square dish or similar sized round dish works well for this recipe.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon until everything is well combined and relatively smooth.
03 -
Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Then add the oat flour and baking powder, mixing until the batter is smooth with no dry pockets of flour.
04 -
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. If using frozen berries, toss them in a bit of flour first to prevent them from bleeding color throughout the batter.
05 -
Transfer the batter to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges turn golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched.
07 -
Allow the breakfast bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for later.
# Notes:
01 -
This breakfast bake is high in protein thanks to the cottage cheese and eggs, making it a satisfying morning meal.
02 -
For a gluten-free version, make sure to use certified gluten-free oat flour.
03 -
This recipe works well for meal prep - make it on Sunday and enjoy throughout the week.
