A high-protein breakfast bake combining creamy cottage cheese, sweet blueberries, and hearty oats, perfect for a healthy and satisfying start to your day.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes (plus 30 minutes for cottage cheese to reach room temperature)
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the oats and almond milk, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow oats to soften and thicken the batter.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries, nuts (if using), and chia seeds (if using), being careful not to crush the berries and evenly distributing them throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to set and prevent crumbling.

Notes

Batter can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for time-saving convenience., Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture or low-fat as preferred., Swap blueberries for other berries as desired., Choose certified gluten-free oats if gluten-free is needed., Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days., Reheat in oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispness, or microwave for 30-60 seconds per portion., Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months; warm from frozen when ready to eat.
