Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour or rolled oats
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour (or oats), honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the dish cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Variations: Swap blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries for different flavors. Use stevia or monk fruit for a sugar-free version. For gluten-free, use almond flour or oats and ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. Substitute cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free version.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat by microwaving a portion for 20-30 seconds or warming in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
