Description

This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is a wholesome and delicious start to your day, combining creamy cottage cheese, fresh blueberries, and a hint of cinnamon in a baked oat flour base. Perfectly sweetened with pure maple syrup, this breakfast bake is nutritious, easy to prepare, and offers a comforting warm meal for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (81 grams) oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat cottage cheese, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth, ensuring an even texture for the bake.
  3. Add Blueberries: Gently stir in 1 cup of fresh blueberries into the blended batter to distribute the fruit throughout the mixture without crushing them.
  4. Transfer and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle additional blueberries on top to add bursts of fresh flavor and appealing color.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the center is set; a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean.
  6. Serve: Let the bake cool slightly, then portion it out. Optionally drizzle with a bit more maple syrup before serving for extra sweetness and moisture.

Notes

  • This recipe uses oat flour for a gluten-free option; ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if necessary.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese provides creaminess and richness, but low-fat versions can be used to reduce calorie content.
  • The bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed gently before serving.
  • You can substitute blueberries with other berries or fruits depending on preference.
  • To make the batter thicker, chill it for 10 minutes before baking.
