One piece at the bottom right has a bite taken out of it, showing a soft interior with embedded blueberries. A few loose blueberries lie near the bitten piece.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (450g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) rolled oats
  • 4 tbsp Sukrin Gold sweetener or Demerara sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp milk, any kind (use as needed)
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries, halved if large
  • 2 tbsp flaked almonds or mixed seeds
  • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener, to top

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. For added texture, you can reserve some whole cottage cheese and stir it in later.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sweetener, and baking powder. Pour in the blended cottage cheese mixture and stir well. Add enough milk to loosen the batter to a spreadable oatmeal-like consistency.
  3. Step 3: Line a quarter sheet baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease or spray with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
  4. Step 4: Top the batter with the blueberries, then sprinkle with flaked almonds or seeds and a little extra sugar or sweetener.
  5. Step 5: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
  6. Step 6: Let the bake cool before slicing. Serve plain or with a drizzle of honey, agave, or maple syrup.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free option, use sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead of almonds.
  • Swap the blueberries for other berries like raspberries or sliced strawberries depending on the season.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bake, increase the maple syrup or sweetener slightly.
  • Whole cottage cheese pieces added after blending give a nice texture contrast.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices gently in the microwave or enjoy cold. For longer storage, freeze portions wrapped tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How to Serve

A baked square cake in a pink baking dish with two handles sits on a white marbled surface. The cake has a golden-brown top layer studded with scattered toasted almond slices and whole dark blueberries that add contrast with their deep purple color. A vintage silver cake server with decorative cutouts rests on the right side of the cake, slightly touching the edges. The cake surface looks textured and slightly crunchy with the toasted almond slices adding a rough texture against the smooth blueberries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

For the Breakfast Bake

  • 2 cups (450g) cottage cheese, full-fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) rolled oats
  • 4 tbsp Sukrin Gold sweetener (or Demerara sugar)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp milk (any kind), use as needed

To Top

  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries, halved if large
  • 2 tbsp flaked almonds or mixed seeds
  • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste or extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, optionally leaving some cottage cheese whole for added texture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, Sukrin Gold sweetener (or Demerara sugar), and baking powder. Stir to combine evenly.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir well, adding milk gradually to loosen the batter until it reaches a spreadable oatmeal-like consistency.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a quarter sheet baking pan and spray or grease with cooking spray or cake release to prevent sticking.
  5. Assemble and Top: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Distribute the halved blueberries evenly on top, then sprinkle with a little extra sugar or sweetener and flaked almonds or mixed seeds for crunch.
  6. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 40 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool before slicing. Serve plain or with a drizzle of honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup to enhance sweetness as desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Adjust milk quantity to get the right batter consistency, which should be spreadable but not runny.
  • Flaked almonds can be substituted with mixed seeds for added nutritional variation.
  • If you prefer less sugar, use a sugar substitute like Sukrin Gold instead of Demerara sugar.
  • Allow the bake to cool fully for cleaner slices and better texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
