Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats (if using), baking powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries without crushing them.
Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with extra blueberries. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden and set.
Cool and Slice: Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or refrigerate for later.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese and eggs before mixing with other ingredients. To make this bake dairy-free, use plant-based cottage cheese and skip the optional oats for a lower-carb version.
