Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese 4%
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or sugar-free syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup rolled oats blended into oat flour (or use fine almond flour for low carb)
  • 1 scoop about 30g vanilla protein powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt optional
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries or frozen, unthawed
  • Nonstick spray

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 pan
  • 1 blender or food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8” baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Blend rolled oats into oat flour using a blender or food processor. Skip this step if using almond flour.
  3. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and protein powder. Blend until smooth.
  4. Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. The bake should begin to pull away from the sides.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing into 4 servings. Enjoy warm or cold. Optional: sprinkle with powdered monk fruit or drizzle with syrup.

Notes

    • For a lower carb version, use almond flour and sugar-free syrup.
    • Want a chunkier texture? Skip blending the oats and stir the ingredients by hand with quick oats.
    • To prevent blueberries from sinking, add a handful to the top of the bake halfway through baking.
    • We used Orgain vanilla protein powder and Good Culture full-fat cottage cheese.
