Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat cottage cheese, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and uniformly mixed.
Add Blueberries: Gently stir in 1 cup of blueberries into the blended batter to distribute them evenly throughout.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Top the mixture with extra blueberries for a fresh, vibrant presentation.
Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean.
Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then portion out servings. Optionally, drizzle with extra maple syrup for added sweetness before serving.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw beforehand to avoid excess moisture in the bake.
For the best creamy texture, use full-fat cottage cheese rather than low-fat alternatives.
This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9×13-inch dish; just increase the baking time slightly to ensure it cooks through.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or bake in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
