Here’s a simple, reliable recipe you can riff on.
🫐 Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls
Ingredients (2 servings)
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat both work)
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
-
¼ cup rolled oats (optional, but adds great texture)
-
1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional toppings: extra blueberries, sliced almonds, granola, nut butter
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two small oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
-
Blend (optional but recommended):
Blend cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
If you like a more rustic texture, just whisk everything together instead. -
Stir in oats (if using) and blueberries.
-
Divide mixture evenly between bowls.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until centers are just set and tops are lightly golden.
-
Cool slightly, then add toppings and dig in.
Texture & Flavor Notes
-
Texture = somewhere between cheesecake and baked oatmeal.
-
Tangy from the cottage cheese, sweet from blueberries, cozy from cinnamon.
Easy Variations
-
Lemon Blueberry: Add 1 tsp lemon zest.
-
Protein Boost: Stir in 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder (you may need 1–2 tbsp milk).
-
Chocolate Berry: Sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top before baking.
-
Dairy-Free-ish: Use lactose-free cottage cheese (works great).
