Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1.5 cups cottage cheese This creamy, rich base adds a luxurious texture and plenty of protein to your bake.
1.5 cups fresh blueberries Sweet, burst-in-your-mouth blueberries that offer vibrant color and natural sweetness, brightening the dish.
2 pieces eggs These bind everything together while adding a satisfying fluffiness and nutrients.
0.25 cups honey Nature’s sweetener, which contributes a delightful richness and nuance of flavor.
1 tsp vanilla extract This aromatic addition provides warmth and depth, elevating the overall sweetness.
0.5 cups Greek yogurt Thick and tangy, it folds in perfectly for creaminess and a dose of probiotics.
0.25 cups rolled oats These oat flakes introduce a heartiness and give the bake a rustic, wholesome touch.
1 tbsp lemon zest A pop of bright flavor, enhancing the overall taste with its refreshing notes.
1 tbsp lemon juice Tangy and invigorating, it balances the sweetness with a touch of acidity.
0.5 tsp baking powder Essential for creating lift, helping the dish rise to perfection.
0.25 tsp salt A pinch that enhances the flavors of all other ingredients, bringing everything together.
2 tbsp butter (melted) Adds richness and a golden finish to the top of the bake.
1 tbsp brown sugar (for topping) Creates a caramelized crust that entices you with its sweetness and crunch.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Grease a small baking dish (about 8×8 inches) and pour the mixture into it.
Top with melted butter and sprinkle brown sugar over the top.

Baking

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure your cottage cheese is fresh and at room temperature for easier blending. Consider letting the flavors meld overnight before baking to enhance sweetness.
