Method

1. Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and oil an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish. Stir the chia into the milk and leave it 5 minutes to swell.
2. Beat in the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, date syrup and cinnamon, then fold through two thirds of the berries.
3. Tip into the dish, scatter the rest of the berries and the hazelnuts over and bake 28-30 minutes, until set at the centre and browned at the edges.
