Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh fruit
- Nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the oatmeal bake.
- Mix base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, cottage cheese, and eggs. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add liquids and spices: Stir in the milk, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes slightly thick and smooth.
- Pour mixture into dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the bake sets firmly.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with fresh fruit and nuts for additional flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for best texture; quick oats will result in a softer bake.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar to suit dietary preferences.
- Feel free to swap milk for plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adding fresh fruit or nuts not only enhances flavor but also adds nutritional value.
- Ensure the bake is fully set before removing from the oven to prevent a runny texture.
