Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is combined; don’t overmix!
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries and any optional ingredients like chopped nuts or chia seeds.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly golden on top.
  2. Let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional honey, yogurt, or fresh fruit.

Notes

For added moisture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese. For a crispy topping, sprinkle some oats on top before baking. This bake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
