Gently fold in 1 cup of the blueberries.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve this warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. It is a wonderful choice for a leisurely weekend brunch with your family. You can also eat a slice cold while running out the door.

Try pairing it with a hot cup of coffee or herbal tea. Set the table, enjoy the morning sun, and fuel your body well. It makes your healthy reset feel indulgent and satisfying.

Keep It Fresh

Keep your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh and delicious for up to four days. This makes your weekday mornings feel effortless and calm. Reheat a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It tastes just as fresh as the day you baked it.

Recipe Tips

Don’t skip the salt as it balances the sweetness perfectly.
Use a blender if you want to hide the cottage cheese texture.
Swap fresh berries for frozen if that is what you have.
Grease your baking dish well to prevent any sticking.
Double the batch during the holidays for a crowd-pleasing treat.
Let the bake cool slightly so it slices cleanly into squares.
Add a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright spring flavor.

Ways to Switch It Up

Swap the blueberries for fresh raspberries or chopped strawberries.
Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness.
Stir in a handful of chopped walnuts for a crunchy texture.
Add a scoop of protein powder for even more fuel.

Quick Answers

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, this is perfect for meal prep. Bake it on Sunday and enjoy it all week long. It reheats beautifully in the microwave or toaster oven.

Will my kids actually eat cottage cheese?

If you use a blender, the cottage cheese disappears completely. It just creates a creamy, custard-like texture they will love. They won’t even know it is healthy!

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

You can, but the texture will be much softer. Rolled oats provide a hearty and satisfying bite. Stick to rolled oats for the best results.

I hope this bright and healthy breakfast brings a little joy to your spring mornings. Give it a try and feel the difference a high-protein start can make. Happy cooking!
