Description

This blueberry cottage cheese breakfast bake is a creamy, protein-packed, and naturally gluten-free way to start your day. Made with blended cottage cheese, eggs, and juicy blueberries, it’s soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for meal prep. Enjoy it warm or chilled as a healthy breakfast or high-protein snack that tastes like dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese preferably full-fat for creaminess
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp sweetener use allulose or erythritol
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or coconut flour
  • 1 ½ cups berries divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking dish. If making individual portions, grease muffin tins or ramekins.
  2. Add the drained cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, and cornstarch to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of blueberries along with the lemon zest, if using. Set aside the remaining ½ cup of blueberries for topping.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is just set.
  6. Allow the bake to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved berries and a light sprinkle of sweetener, if desired.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor. Make sure to drain any excess liquid before blending to avoid a watery batter.

Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh, but do not thaw them before adding. This helps prevent excess moisture and keeps the bake firm.
