Ingredients
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is the star ingredient in this recipe. Use 2 cups of low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese for a creamy texture that brings moisture to the bake. It’s high in protein, making it an excellent choice for breakfast.
Blueberries
Fresh or frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. You will need 1 cup of blueberries, which provide natural sweetness and antioxidants. Rinse fresh berries under cold water before using them.
Eggs
You will need 3 large eggs to help bind the ingredients together. Eggs contribute richness and fluffiness to the dish while adding extra protein.
Oats
Use 1 cup of rolled oats for a hearty base. Oats add fiber and texture to the bake, making it filling and satisfying.
Honey
For sweetness, include 1/4 cup of honey. This natural sweetener enhances the flavors without overpowering them, balancing well with the tartness of blueberries.
Baking Powder
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help the bake rise. This ingredient ensures a light and fluffy texture as it cooks in the oven.
Cinnamon
A teaspoon of ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile. It complements both the blueberries and cottage cheese beautifully.
