Description
A bright, lemon-scented breakfast packed with protein, perfect for a healthy grab-and-go morning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small-curd recommended)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 lemon — zest and juice
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (or similar) baking dish.
- Combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Stir until mostly smooth.
- Fold in the blueberries, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix to avoid smashing all the berries.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is set and edges are slightly golden.
- Allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or let cool completely.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese briefly before mixing. Adjust sweetness to taste before baking.
