Calories: 115kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese 1%, 2% (I used) or 4% works
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups berries divided
- Cooking spray optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper. You can spray it with cooking spray, if you wish, but I never had an issue with sticking. Set aside.
- In a high speed blender, add cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and cornstarch. Blend until smooth.
- Add 1 cup of berries and give a few gentle stirs with spatula. Then pour mixture into previously prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of berries on top.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until yogurt in the center is set and not jiggly anymore. Remove from the oven and let cool almost completely.
- Cut into 9 slices and enjoy as is or with more maple syrup and Greek yogurt.
