Ingredients
Main 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 ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend: 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 becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the smooth batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them up.
- Transfer and top: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly and sprinkle additional blueberries on top for extra fruitiness and visual appeal.
- 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.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then cut into portions. Serve warm with an optional drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with almond flour for a nuttier taste and to make it gluten-free.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to prevent excess moisture.
- This bake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup according to your taste.
