• temps total: Prep: 10 min | Cook: 30

Ingrédients

Ingredients: • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best) • 4 large eggs • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based) • 1 tsp vanilla extract • ½ cup flour (all-purpose, whole wheat, or oat flour) • 1 tsp baking powder • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (omit if under 1 year) • Optional mix-ins: • ½ cup grated zucchini or carrot (sneaky veggie!) • ½ cup blueberries or diced fruit • 2-3 tbsp mini chocolate chips (if toddler-approved treat)

Instructions

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour + baking powder (and any dry mix-ins if using).

4. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients until combined. Add fruit or veggies.

5. Pour batter into the greased dish and smooth the top.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

7. Let cool slightly, then cut into toddler-sized squares. Serve warm with yogurt, fruit, or a little nut butter.

Notes

Tips:

• Texture: The bake is soft and spongy, perfect for toddlers who prefer smoother textures. • Make-ahead: Store in the fridge 3-4 days or freeze in portions. Reheat in microwave or toaster oven. • Flavor variations: Cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin purée, or mashed banana can all be stirred in for variety.
