If you’re looking for a healthier way to satisfy a sweet craving, this baked protein pudding is a great place to start. Made with cottage cheese, eggs, oats, and a scoop of protein powder, it delivers an impressive 29g of protein while keeping the ingredient list refreshingly simple.
The cottage cheese gives the pudding a creamy texture, while the oats add substance and fiber, helping create a satisfying bake. Fresh blueberries bring natural sweetness, a pop of color, and plenty of antioxidants and vitamins, making this just as suitable for breakfast as it is for dessert. A drizzle of honey rounds everything out without making it overly sweet, providing just enough sweetness without relying on refined sugar.
Best of all, the recipe comes together in just a few minutes with the help of a blender. Once baked, the pudding develops a lightly golden top and a soft, custard-like center. Enjoy it warm straight from the oven, or chill it in the fridge for a firmer texture that’s perfect for meal prep.
