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