Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 360 g cottage cheese (1½ cups), full fat recommended
- 4 large eggs, brought to room temperature 30 minutes before blending
- 90 g old fashioned rolled oats (1 cup), not quick oats
- 1 ripe banana, the spottier the better
- 80 ml maple syrup (⅓ cup)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 150 g fresh blueberries (1 cup), frozen works too
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Bowls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously spray four 2-cup oven-safe bowls with non-stick cooking spray and set them on a large baking sheet for easy handling.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high speed blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, maple syrup, and baking soda. Blend for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible oat pieces. If the batter is too thick to pour easily, add a splash of milk and pulse briefly.
- Fill Bowls and Add Blueberries: Pour the blended batter evenly into the prepared bowls, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising. Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, then gently press some berries into the batter to create pockets of jammy blueberry flavor throughout.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet with the bowls in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, checking at 35 minutes to avoid overbaking. The tops should turn golden brown and be firm to the touch when done.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes. This cooling time is essential to achieve the perfect custardy texture before enjoying.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Room temperature eggs help blend ingredients smoothly.
- Old fashioned rolled oats provide better texture than quick oats.
- If the batter is too thick, a small splash of milk helps achieve better consistency for pouring.
- Cooling after baking is crucial to set the custard-like texture.
- Bowl size should be about 2 cups capacity to allow correct baking volume.
