The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—fresh, simple, and high-quality. I always reach for cottage cheese with a creamy texture and fresh blueberries that are plump and juicy. Using real vanilla extract makes a subtle but noticeable difference in flavor, and I love using whole milk for richness. If you want to add a little twist, feel free to swap blueberries for raspberries or blackberries, or use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter version. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat for creamier texture)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute frozen, thawed)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This is the base that gives the bake its rich texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bake tender.
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries, saving a few to sprinkle on top for a pretty finish.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the reserved blueberries on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
