Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For Preparation

  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and grease baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend base mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even texture for the bake.
  3. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the blended mixture using a spatula to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
  4. Pour and smooth batter: Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the spatula for even baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown, indicating that the bake is cooked through.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the bake to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a wholesome breakfast.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor, but frozen can be used if fresh are not available – just do not thaw before adding.
  • Greasing the baking dish well is important to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  • Letting the bake cool before slicing helps it set fully and makes cutting easier.
  • You can adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
  • This bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
