Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional but adds extra protein)
- ¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg or egg white
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (optional, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a small oven-safe dish or ramekin. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Next, in a separate bowl, whisk the cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Blend these until smooth, as the cottage cheese will help mimic the tangy taste of cheesecake. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can blend the mixture in a small blender or food processor.
Fold the wet mixture into your dry ingredients and gently stir to combine them into a thick batter. Toss in most of the blueberries, reserving a few for topping. Pour the batter into your prepared dish and gently press any remaining blueberries on top. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn golden.
Once out of the oven, allow the baked oats to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy it warm on its own, or take it to the next level by spooning a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey on top.
These Amazing Blueberry Cheesecake High-Protein Baked Oats are perfect for anyone looking to balance flavor with nutrition—ideal for a weekday morning fuel-up or a lazy weekend treat. The mix of oats, protein powder, and dairy provides a hearty dose of protein, while the blueberries bring a natural sweetness that feels like dessert any time of the day. For substitutions, feel free to swap Greek yogurt for cottage cheese, use different berries, or opt for dairy-free alternatives as needed. Whether you’re serving breakfast to a hungry crowd or meal prepping for the week, this recipe brings a tasty, wholesome twist to the usual oat routine.
