Description
A delightful breakfast bake combining cottage cheese, oats, blueberries, and ripe bananas for a guilt-free start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or 3 tbsp monk fruit sweetener for sugar-free)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, don’t thaw)
- Optional toppings: Sliced almonds or chopped walnuts, Greek yogurt, extra fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray four 2-cup glass bowls with non-stick spray, or grease one 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In your blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, mashed banana, maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bowls or baking dish, filling them to 2/3 full. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and the center is firm.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with optional toppings if desired.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate. For a quicker option, try air-frying at 320°F (160°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
