Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, or alternatively, prepare individual ramekins for single servings. Set aside.
Step 2
For a smooth texture, place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon into a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, resembling a custard-like consistency.
Step 4
If you prefer a chunkier texture, simply add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk them together until well combined. This will result in a more textured batter with the oats remaining somewhat intact.
Step 5
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to mash them. The blueberries will add color and sweetness throughout the bake.
Step 6
Once incorporated, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among the ramekins.
Step 7
Place the baking dish or ramekins in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
Step 8
Check the bake after 25 minutes. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. If the bake is still too jiggly, give it a few more minutes in the oven.
Step 9
Once done, remove from the oven and let the bake cool for about 5 minutes. This will help the texture set and make it easier to cut into slices or serve from individual ramekins.
Step 10
Serve the bake warm, or refrigerate for later enjoyment. Top with yogurt, nuts, granola, or a drizzle of extra honey or maple syrup, if desired, for added flavor and texture. Enjoy!
