Description

This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is a light, creamy, and protein-rich breakfast bake that combines the tangy flavor of cottage cheese with sweet bursts of blueberries. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup or honey and made with oat flour for a wholesome, gluten-free touch, this bake offers a soft, custardy texture and a golden crust. It’s perfect for nutritious mornings, meal prep, and those seeking a warm, nourishing dish that feels like a healthy dessert.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a flavorful base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is fully combined, forming a smooth batter with a slightly thick consistency.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking their shape.
  5. Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set and the top turns golden brown, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm for a cozy breakfast or chilled as a refreshing treat, optionally drizzled with yogurt or maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with other gluten-free flours if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, try plant-based cottage cheese alternatives but expect slight texture changes.
  • Blueberries can be swapped with raspberries, strawberries, or peaches according to season or preference.
  • Adding chia seeds or ground flaxseed can increase omega-3 content for a nutritional boost.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently or enjoy cold.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep and can be portioned into squares for grab-and-go breakfasts.
