Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional Toppings
- Sliced almonds
- Granola
- Extra honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast bowls.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently incorporate the blueberries, taking care not to break them up to maintain their shape and texture.
- Divide mixture: Spoon the mixture evenly into individual oven-safe bowls or ramekins, which helps portion the servings.
- Bake: Place the bowls in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and the mixture is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bowls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Optionally, top with sliced almonds, granola, or a drizzle of extra honey. Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, no need to thaw before mixing.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and vegan sweeteners.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the honey or maple syrup amount.
- This recipe serves 2 but can easily be scaled up or down.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the microwave.
