Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour in the milk and mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the rolled oats and almond flour, mixing until the batter is evenly combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them (especially if using frozen).

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds or extra blueberries on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Cut into squares and serve warm or chilled.
Top with a drizzle of honey, a scoop of yogurt, or extra berries if desired.

Notes

Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – It gives the bake a richer, creamier texture.
Don’t Skip the Resting Time – Letting it cool helps the bake firm up for easier slicing.
Fresh or Frozen Berries – Either works well, but if using frozen, no need to thaw—just fold them in directly.
Customize It – Add lemon zest for brightness, chia seeds for extra fiber, or a handful of nuts for crunch.
