Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/3 cup flour (all-purpose or almond flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then stir into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest, if using.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before slicing
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep the bake soft and tender.
For meal prep, slice into portions, wrap, and freeze for up to 2 months.
Swap blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries for variety.
