Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   • 180°C (350°F)
2. Blend the base
   • In a blender, mix:
     cottage cheese + eggs + Greek yogurt + protein powder + vanilla
   • Blend until smooth (this removes lumps and makes it “cake-like”).
3. Add dry ingredients
   • Stir in oats, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
4. Add berries
   • Gently fold in blueberries (don’t overmix or they’ll break).
5. Bake
   • Pour into a greased small baking dish.
   • Bake for 25–35 minutes until set and lightly golden.
6. Cool & serve
   • Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing (it firms up as it rests).
