How to Make Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease two ramekins or a small baking dish.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
• Cottage cheese
• Eggs
• Maple syrup or honey
• Vanilla extract
For a smoother, custard-like texture, you can blend this mixture briefly in a blender.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in:
• Almond flour (or oats)
• Baking powder
• Pinch of salt
Mix until fully combined. The batter will be thick but pourable.
4. Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
5. Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:
• The tops are set
• Centers are just firm
• Edges are lightly golden
6. Cool and Serve
Let the bowls cool for 5 minutes before serving. They will firm up slightly as they rest.
Serve warm for the best texture.
Tips for Best Results
• Blend the cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth texture
• Use almond flour for a softer, custard-like bowl
