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

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.
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.
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.
Prepare Baking Pan: Line a quarter sheet baking pan and spray or grease with cooking spray or cake release to prevent sticking.
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.
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.
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.
