Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that’s perfect for starting your day with protein, fiber, and antioxidants. The combination of cottage cheese, blueberries, and eggs creates a fluffy, moist dish that’s perfect for meal prep. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, depending on your preference)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (you can use other berries as well)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for greasing)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk. Add the cottage cheese and stir to combine until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Be careful not to break the berries too much.
  5. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Frozen Berries: If you’re using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding. They may release extra moisture, but this will make the bake even more moist and delicious.
  • Add-ins: You can also add a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for added crunch or stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare this bake the night before and refrigerate it, then bake it the next morning for an easy, ready-to-go breakfast.
  • Top It Off: Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or extra drizzle of honey if you like it a bit sweeter.

This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is an amazing option for a healthy, filling, and satisfying start to your day! 🫐🍳
