Maple Cottage Cheese Baked Oats 🍁🥣
Breakfast that feels like dessert—warm, fluffy, and lightly sweet
Description
These Maple Cottage Cheese Baked Oats are soft, cake-like, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and vanilla. The cottage cheese blends right in, adding creaminess and protein while keeping the texture tender and moist. It’s the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent but fuels you well—perfect for slow mornings, meal prep, or when you want something cozy straight from the oven.
Ingredients
-
1 cup rolled oats

1 cup cottage cheese

1 large egg

1 tbsp maple syrup
Optional add-ins:

½ tsp vanilla extract

Directions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin.
2️⃣ Blend the Batter
Add oats, cottage cheese, egg, and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds.
(For a more textured oat bake, pulse lightly instead of fully blending.)
3️⃣ Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top and add any toppings if using.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
4️⃣ Cool & Enjoy
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. The texture will be soft, warm, and cake-like.
