Ingredients
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.
