Ingredients
  

  • Base Mixture
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large ripe bananas or ½ cup applesauce
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups milk any kind
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • To Serve
  • Fresh berries
  • Extra drizzle of honey
  • A warm cup of Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey

Equipment

  • Blender (optional, for smooth texture)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Oven-Safe Baking Dish
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Blend for Creaminess (Optional but Recommended): For a cake-like texture, blend the cottage cheese, bananas, milk, egg, honey, vanilla, and oats until smooth. For a rustic texture, simply mix everything in a bowl.
  3. Build the Batter: Add cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and any optional add-ins. Mix or pulse lightly to combine without overblending.
  4. Pour & Smooth: Transfer the mixture into your baking dish. Smooth the top for even baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Avoid overbaking to keep it soft and fluffy.
  6. Cool & Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or scoop it out. Enjoy warm with berries, honey, or drinks like the Spiced Pear Smoothie for a balanced morning meal.

Notes

  • Blend the mixture for a soufflé-style texture.
  • For more sweetness, add an extra banana or a teaspoon of honey.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
  • Freeze portions for up to 2 month great for grab-and-go mornings.
