Ingredients
  

Base custard
  • 2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup Use honey or maple syrup.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour Choose oat flour or all-purpose flour.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 salt Pinch of salt.
Blueberry layer
  • 1.5 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Fresh or frozen, evenly scattered.
Serving
  • 1 powdered sugar For dusting on top after baking.
  • 1 maple syrup For serving.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Preheat and prepare the baking dish
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
  2. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until smooth, scraping as needed for an even custard.
Assemble and bake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and scatter blueberries evenly over the top, pressing some in gently so they bake into the custard.
  2. Bake for 30–35 minutes at 375°F until the center is fully set and the top is golden with a slightly domed look.
Rest, finish, and serve
  1. Rest the bake for 10 minutes so it finishes setting for clean slices.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with maple syrup.

Notes

Pro tip: press a few blueberries slightly below the surface so you get juicy bursts in every bite. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days in an airtight container; reheat individual portions in the microwave. Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes from the custard. For a lighter option, use low-fat cottage cheese, but expect a slightly less rich set.
