Recipe Tips

• Use almond flour for a keto blueberry cottage cheese breakfast bake
• Not sweet enough? Add a maple syrup drizzle over the top or a sprinkle of powdered sugar or monk fruit
• You can use frozen berries straight from the freezer—no thawing needed. We did use fresh blueberries since they were ripe and in season.
• You can sprinkle extra blueberries on top after 20 minutes of baking to keep them from sinking. It’ll give you that popping blueberry look you see in so many recipes!
