Ingredients

For the batter

1 cup Cottage cheese
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
⅓ cup Honey or maple syrup
¼ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup rolled Oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 –1¼ cups Blueberries frozen or fresh

For the topping

3 tablespoons sliced Almonds

For the glaze (optional)

1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F /180°C. Grease a 8 x 8 inch (20 × 20 cm) baking pan with some butter.

Step 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, combine with a whisk the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Blend with oats

Transfer the mixture into a blender, and add oats and blend.

Step 4: Mix the Batter and add Blueberries

Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl.
Stir in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
The batter should look thick, creamy, and slightly textured from the oats.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Try not to crush them too much. This keeps the batter light in color and gives you juicy blueberries throughout the bake.

Step 5: Fill the Pan

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Use a spatula to smooth the top so the bake cooks evenly.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
About 5 minutes before the bake is finished, sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top. This gives them enough time to toast without burning.

Step 7: Add Honey Glaze

While the bake is still warm, drizzle the surface lightly with honey.
This gives the top a soft shine and adds a little extra flavor.

Step 8: Cool and Slice

Let the bake cool completely before cutting it into squares.
This is important. If you slice it while it is still hot, it may be too soft and fall apart. As it cools, it firms up and becomes easier to cut.

Notes

Storage

Store the blueberry cottage cheese breakfast bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can enjoy it cold, at room temperature, or gently warmed. To warm it, place one square in the microwave for a short time until just heated through.

This breakfast bake is best stored in the fridge because it contains cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and eggs.

Can You Freeze It?

This recipe may freeze, but the texture can change because of the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and blueberries. It may become a little softer after thawing.

If you want to freeze it, wrap individual squares well and freeze them in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm gently before serving.

For the best texture, I recommend enjoying it fresh from the fridge within 4 days.
