Ingredients

For the Base

1 cup rolled oats
1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

For the Cream Layer

1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or sugar-free sweetener (optional)

For the Blueberry Topping

1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for a thicker sauce)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish or meal-prep container that is oven-safe.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir until everything is evenly mixed into a thick batter.
Spread the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Press it gently with the back of a spoon so the layer is smooth.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and just set. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the creamy layer.
While the base cools, prepare the cream mixture. Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth using a food processor or blender. This step creates a rich cheesecake-like texture.
Transfer the blended cottage cheese into a bowl and add the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener if desired. Mix until silky smooth and creamy.
Spoon the protein cream evenly over the cooled oat base and smooth the top using a spatula.
To prepare the blueberry topping, place the blueberries, lemon juice, and water into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and release their juices.
If you prefer a thicker topping, stir the cornstarch into one tablespoon of cold water and add it to the blueberries. Simmer another minute until glossy.
Allow the blueberry mixture to cool slightly before spooning it over the yogurt layer.
Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the blueberries through the creamy layer for a beautiful marbled effect.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
Slice or scoop into bowls and enjoy cold.
