Description
Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls offer a delightful way to start your day packed with nutrition and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup rolled oats or almond flour
- 1/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- butter or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, grab your oven-safe ramekins or small bowls and lightly grease them with butter or oil to prevent sticking. This step is crucial as it will ensure that your baked breakfast bowls release easily once they are ready to serve. Once greased, set them aside for filling.
- Next, in a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, egg, oats or almond flour, vanilla extract, maple syrup or honey (if using), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend these ingredients until they form a smooth, creamy mixture. The blending process not only incorporates your ingredients but also aerates them, giving your breakfast bowls a light texture. If you are blending oats, ensure they’ve broken down adequately for a smooth mix.
- Once you have your base blended, it is time to gently fold in the blueberries. Carefully transfer the mixed ingredients into a bowl, then add the blueberries and use a spatula or mixing spoon to incorporate them without crushing them too much. This step will enhance the flavor with pops of berry sweetness and add lovely bursts of color to your bowls.
- Pour the cottage cheese and blueberry mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for rising. Place the filled ramekins onto your baking sheet and transfer them to your preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, indicating that they are ready to be taken out. Let them cool for around 5 minutes before serving for better handling.
