Equipment
Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Cottage Cheese Swirl
- ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Swirl
- ¼ cup raspberry jam warmed slightly for easier swirling (I warmed for 15-20 seconds in the microwave)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl or the baking dish, combine oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a blender combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in raspberries
- Pour oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
- In a small blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese swirl ingredients until smooth.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese mixture and warmed raspberry jam over the top of the oatmeal. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl them into the surface.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm with extra maple syrup, yogurt, or a splash of milk, if desired!
Notes
- Use different fruit: You can swap the raspberries for blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a mix of berries. Just use the same amount and pair it with your favorite jam for the swirl.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
