Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese – Packed with protein and creaminess! 🧀
- ½ cup rolled oats – Adds fiber and a delightful texture! 🌾
- ½ cup fresh blueberries – Naturally sweet and rich in antioxidants! 🫐
- 2 large eggs – Binds the mixture and boosts protein content! 🥚

- ½ teaspoon cinnamon – Adds warmth and depth of flavor! 🌿
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall sweetness! 🌿

Preparation:
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a small baking dish (8×8-inch) or use individual ramekins.
2️⃣ Blend or Mix the Base

- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
