Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup large flaked oats
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (divided)

Instructions

1. Prep the Pan & Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

3. Add Oats & Blueberries: Pour batter into the baking dish. Stir in oats, then scatter 1 cup of blueberries on top.

4. Bake in Stages: Bake for 30 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup blueberries on top and continue baking for 10 minutes, until golden and set in the center.

5. Serve & Enjoy: Let cool slightly. Dust with cinnamon and serve warm with Greek yogurt, maple syrup, or honey.

Pro Tips

  • Full Fat = Better Texture: Avoid low-fat cottage cheese to prevent a watery, rubbery bake.
  • Berry Tip: If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent color bleeding.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months for a grab-and-go breakfast.
