👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and milk until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
6. Cool & Serve
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, or refrigerate for up to 5 days and enjoy cold!

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Make it sweeter: Add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup or stir in a few mini chocolate chips.
- Use other berries: This bake also works beautifully with raspberries, chopped strawberries, or blackberries.
- Higher protein boost: Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and increase the milk slightly to adjust consistency.
- No oat flour? You can easily make your own by blending rolled oats into a fine powder.
- Meal prep: Bake it on Sunday and have a ready-to-go breakfast all week long.
✨ My Personal Touch
This recipe is one of my favorite healthy indulgences. It’s warm and comforting straight from the oven, but just as refreshing when served chilled—almost like a cheesecake breakfast bar. I like to top mine with a scoop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, and a touch of cinnamon for a balanced, satisfying meal that feels both nourishing and decadent.
