Description
If you’re tired of sugary cereals and are looking for a breakfast that’s wholesome, satisfying, and actually keeps you full, let us introduce your new morning obsession: Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls. ✨
Ingredients
½ cup cottage cheese
Adds protein, creaminess, and bakes into a soft, cheesecake-like texture.
1 egg
Helps bind everything and adds extra protein.
¼ cup rolled oats or almond flour
Adds structure — oats for fiber, almond flour for a lower-carb option.
⅓ cup blueberries
Bursts of juicy sweetness and antioxidants in every bite.
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
Natural sweetener for just a touch of indulgence.
½ tsp vanilla extract
Brings warmth and depth to the flavor.
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
A cozy, spicy note that complements the blueberries.
Pinch of sea salt
Balances the sweetness and brings all the flavors forward.
Butter or oil for greasing
So your breakfast doesn’t stick (and adds a little richness).
Instructions
How to Make Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls (Step-by-Step)
This is a one-bowl, one-blender, no-fuss recipe you can whip up in minutes. Here’s how to bring these cozy little breakfast bowls to life:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Lightly grease 1–2 ramekins or oven-safe small bowls with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine:
-
½ cup cottage cheese
-
1 egg
-
¼ cup rolled oats OR almond flour
-
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp cinnamon
-
Pinch of sea salt
➡️ Blend until smooth, about 20–30 seconds. The mixture should be creamy and thick, almost like a pancake batter.
Step 3: Add the Blueberries
-
Fold in ⅓ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) by hand.
This helps keep the berries whole and prevents the batter from turning purple.
Step 4: Pour & Bake
-
Pour the mixture into your prepared ramekins.
-
Place them on a baking sheet to catch any spills and make it easy to transfer.
👉 Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden, puffed, and the center is set.
Tip: A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs — just like a muffin.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Let your bowls cool for 5 minutes before digging in. They’ll firm up a bit as they rest.
