Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bake – Different, But Delicious! 🍪💙
I recently tried making a Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bake, but mine didn’t turn out quite like the pictures I saw in the recipe. Of course, I did tweak the ingredients a bit by adding extra protein powder, which likely changed the texture. Instead of a soft, fluffy bake, mine had more of a bar cookie consistency—and while it wasn’t picture-perfect, it was still delicious! Plus, each serving packed 15-16 grams of protein, and let’s be honest, finding a tasty way to hit those protein goals is what really matters! 💙🍪
Just a few ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 fresh blueberries
Premier Protein
I’ve tried several protein products, and Premier Protein is my favorite! I’ve used their chocolate and vanilla powders in smoothies and also love their shakes in homemade smoothies and ice cream—no yucky protein aftertaste! 😊👏
mix it up – quick and easy!
- Blend oats, protein powder, and cinnamon together until smooth. I used a Ninja blender.
- Add eggs, cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla and blend.
- Gently fold in blueberries
- Pour into a prepared 8″ x 8″ glass dish coated with cooking spray or butter.
- Bake 20-30 min in 325° oven, to until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into four pieces.
- Serve warm, or room temperature. Drizzle a little bit of honey on top if desired.
Breakfast or Snack? It’s All About Perspective! 🍽️✨
Most Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bake recipes I found were intended as breakfast food, but to me, mine turned out more like a snack or even dessert. While we occasionally enjoy pancakes or waffles in the morning, they’re usually paired with a side of crispy bacon! 🥓😂
Even my husband liked it, and he’s not as big on sweets as I am. His other comment? After I mentioned the extra protein powder, he said he couldn’t taste it at all—no aftertaste or anything! This morning, I had a slice with toast, extra fruit, and a drizzle of honey, and it was delicious! 🍯🍞💙
What I Might Do Differently Next Time 🔄✨
Next time, I might skip blending the oats and instead just mix everything by hand. This could give the bake a bit more texture rather than a smoother consistency. I also used small curd cottage cheese since it’s my favorite, but I wonder if a different variety would change the final result. Either way, I’ll definitely be experimenting to see how small adjustments affect the texture and bake! 🫐🍽️
Storing My Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bake 🫐✨
After letting my Cottage Cheese Blueberry Bake cool, I stored it in the refrigerator with tin foil between the slices. This makes it easy to remove a piece and warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds—sans tinfoil, of course! 😂
When a Recipe Doesn’t Turn Out as Expected… But Still Works! 🤔🎉
Have you ever tried a recipe that didn’t quite turn out like the picture, but wasn’t a fail after all? I’d love to hear about it! Sometimes, a little tweak (intentional or not) leads to something unexpectedly delicious. Let me know in the comments if you’ve had a baking surprise that turned out to be a keeper! 🍽️😊
