Description

Warm baked breakfast bowls featuring cottage cheese, apple, cinnamon, and wholesome ingredients for a protein‑rich start to the day.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour (or rolled oats for a heartier texture)
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, extra apple slices, a drizzle of additional maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (about 350 °F) and grease ramekins or a small baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour (or oats), vanilla extract, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  3. Fold in the diced apple gently so it’s evenly distributed.
  4. Divide mixture into prepared ramekins or pour into baking dish.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for about 25‑30 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are slightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Add optional toppings such as nuts, extra apple slices, or more maple syrup as desired.

Notes

  • You can use rolled oats instead of almond flour for a more textured, whole‑grain version.
  • If apples are very tart, adjust sweetness with more maple syrup.
  • Let bowls rest a bit after baking so slices hold their shape.
  • Leftovers store well in fridge; reheat gently.
