Description
This hearty Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake combines creamy texture with bursts of fruit for a satisfying breakfast option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Small bits of cottage cheese are fine—they will bake into the batter.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. The batter will be thick and creamy.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour and smooth: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the bake cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold as desired.
Notes
- This recipe is great for meal prep.
