A cozy, custardy pancake casserole bake filled with juicy blueberries and a secret ingredient—cottage cheese—for extra fluffiness. Perfect for lazy weekends or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined with no lumps.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and melted butter. The cottage cheese may look slightly lumpy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to keep pockets of fruit intact.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The edges will be golden brown and slightly crisp.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother mixing. Fresh baking powder ensures fluffiness. Fold blueberries gently to avoid bursting. You can prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate for convenience. If edges brown too fast but center is not set, cover loosely with foil and continue baking.
