Use almond flour crust instead of graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
For extra richness, use full-fat cottage cheese instead of low fat.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or enjoy cold. This bake also freezes well; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Scale

Base

1½ sheets Graham Crackers (22g)

Filling

1 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese (225g)
¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
1 Egg
½ cup Blueberries (74g)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with a capacity of about 3 cups using non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Base: Place approximately 1½ sheets of graham crackers evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a crust layer.
Blend the Filling: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, and egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the blueberries by stirring them into the mixture.
Assemble and Pour: Pour the blended cottage cheese and blueberry mixture over the graham cracker base in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The bake should be set but still moist.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter before baking.
If you prefer, substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones, but do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
To keep the graham cracker crust crisp, avoid using too watery fruit or excess liquid in the filling.
Let the bake cool slightly before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier.
This dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and makes a great grab-and-go breakfast.
