Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, milk, honey, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick, yet pourable.

- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful to keep them whole.
- Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Baking

- Remove from the oven and allow cooling for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Serve warm for breakfast or as a snack. Pair with Greek yogurt or sprinkle chopped nuts on top for additional texture.
