Why I Like this Recipe

This is one of those recipes that feels a bit indulgent but is still quite balanced. The mango adds natural sweetness, while the cottage cheese and protein powder give it a good amount of protein. It’s filling enough to keep you going, thanks to the oats and chia seeds, and it’s practical too as you can bake it once and eat it over a few days. The texture sits somewhere between a soft cake and a baked cheesecake, which works well for breakfast or even a light dessert.

Tips and Variations

  • Use honey or maple syrup instead of agave if you prefer.
  • For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
  • Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries for extra flavour and fibre.
  • Top with fresh mango or berries just before serving for a fresher finish.
  • Add an extra 10 g of protein powder if you want to increase the protein.
  • Serve warm with a spoon of Greek yoghurt for a creamy contrast.
  • It also works well cold, straight from the fridge.
  • Slice it up and pack it for an easy on-the-go breakfast.

Meal Storage

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The texture will firm up a bit, making it even easier to slice.

Freezer tips

Freeze individual portions, either wrapped well or in containers, for up to 2 months. This makes meal prep even easier.

Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat gently in the microwave or oven if you like it warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
