Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest until the batter is smooth.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries, saving a small handful for the top if desired.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
6. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the top.
7. Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
8. Let the bake cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Do not overbake it, or the center can lose that soft, creamy texture that makes this breakfast bake so good.
