Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 360 g cottage cheese (1½ cups, full fat recommended) Protein-rich base
  • 4 large eggs (brought to room temperature 30 minutes before blending) Provides structure
  • 90 g old fashioned rolled oats (1 cup, not quick oats) Acts as bulk and gives body and fiber
  • 1 ripe banana (the spottier the better) Brings natural sweetness
  • 80 ml maple syrup (⅓ cup) Enhances flavor
  • 1 tsp baking soda Gentle lift agent
Topping
  • 150 g fresh blueberries (1 cup, frozen works too) Adds juicy acidity

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously spray four 2 cup oven safe bowls with non stick cooking spray and place them on a large baking sheet.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, maple syrup, and baking soda to your high speed blender. Blend for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth with no visible oat pieces.
  3. If the mixture seems too thick to pour easily, add a splash of milk and pulse briefly.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared bowls, filling each about two thirds full to leave room for rising.
  5. Top each bowl with blueberries, then use your finger to gently press some berries down into the batter.
Baking
  1. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch. Start checking at 35 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.

Notes

You can personalize by swapping maple syrup for honey, using frozen blueberries, or adding citrus zest. For completeness, consider pairing with a simple side salad or yogurt.
