This Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is a wholesome, protein-packed dish with a soft, lightly custardy texture and bursts of juicy blueberries. Perfect for meal prep or slow mornings, it’s naturally sweet, comforting, and easy to reheat throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish (8×8-inch recommended).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before mixing.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, cornstarch, and baking powder until evenly incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in most of the blueberries, reserving a small handful for the top.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the surface.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to help it firm up.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to prevent excess moisture.
  • Blend cottage cheese for a smoother texture or leave unblended for a slightly textured bake.
  • Swap blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or diced peaches for variation.
  • Add lemon zest for brightness or sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top for crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven until heated through.
