Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

2 cups cottage cheese
3 eggs
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder

Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Fold in the Rest

Gently fold in:

½ cup almond flour
2 cups blueberries

Be careful not to crush the blueberries — you want those juicy pockets to shine!

Step 4: Bake

Pour the mixture into your prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature — it’s dreamy either way!

A dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut cream
