Here’s a warm, protein-rich breakfast you can easily make:
🫐🍽️ Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls
🧾 Ingredients (2 servings)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup rolled oats (optional, for texture)
- ¾ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Mix base
- In a bowl, whisk together:
cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. Add texture
- Stir in oats if using (makes it more filling and cake-like).
3. Add blueberries
- Gently fold in blueberries (save a few for topping).
4. Bake
- Pour into small oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
- Top with extra blueberries.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
5. Serve
- Let cool slightly before eating (it firms up as it cools).
- Optional: drizzle honey or add yogurt on top.
🌟 Tips
- Use blended cottage cheese for a smoother, custard-like texture
- Add lemon zest for freshness
- Add nuts on top for crunch
- Great for meal prep (keeps 2–3 days in fridge)
🫐 Why it works
This breakfast bowl is:
- high in protein (cottage cheese + eggs)
- naturally sweet from blueberries
- filling but low in refined sugar
If you want, I can also make:
- a high-protein gym version
- or a keto low-carb version without oats 👍
