Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour or gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring gently until just mixed.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to avoid breaking them.

- Let the bake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a nut-free version.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh ones aren’t available; ensure they are thawed and drained.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch.
