Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes! No need to thaw them—just fold them in frozen. They may release a little extra juice, but that adds to the flavor!

Is cottage cheese necessary, or can I substitute it?

Cottage cheese gives this bake its creamy texture and protein boost , but you can swap it for ricotta or Greek yogurt for a similar result.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just use certified gluten-free oats , and you're good to go.

How do I make this sweeter?

The natural sweetness from blueberries and honey is light, but you can add more honey, maple syrup, or even a mashed banana for extra sweetness.

Can I meal prep this for the week?

Yes! Bake it ahead, store slices in the fridge, and reheat as needed. It’s perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts!
