Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Add the all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the vanilla protein powder to the blender. Pulse or blend briefly until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared 8x8 pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top of the batter in the pan.
Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool before adding optional icing or glaze.
Notes
Icing Options: Once cooled, top with a cream cheese icing (cream cheese, splash of vanilla, and maple syrup) or a classic glaze (powdered sugar and milk). For meal prep, store in the refrigerator and microwave individual slices for 45 seconds to serve.
