Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- ½ teaspoon sweetener of choice
- Pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the breakfast bowls evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and if using, add the almond flour, sweetener, and a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well blended.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid breaking them and incorporate them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the combined mixture into a ramekin or any small oven-safe dish. Optionally, top with extra blueberries to add freshness and visual appeal.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked bowl to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or chilled if you prefer a refreshing option.
Notes
- You can bake several bowls at once for meal prep convenience.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute regular cottage cheese with almond-based cottage cheese and replace the egg with a chia egg to maintain texture.
