A quick and easy baked pancake casserole featuring cottage cheese and berries for a fluffy, tender texture with a golden crust. Perfect for cozy breakfasts or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (brown sugar optional)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing and dotting on top)
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then stir in milk, vanilla extract, and cottage cheese.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
  5. Pour half the batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle half of the berries evenly over the surface.
  6. Top with the remaining batter and scatter the rest of the berries on top.
  7. Cut butter into small pieces and dot them across the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep it tender. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise. If using frozen berries, toss lightly in flour to reduce moisture. Dotting butter on top creates a crispy crust. Let the casserole rest before slicing to set texture. Tent with foil if top browns too fast.
