Description
A warm, protein-packed breakfast bowl combining creamy cottage cheese, sweet apples, and fragrant cinnamon, baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or use individual ramekins.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, diced apple, cinnamon, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Fold in rolled oats and chopped nuts if using. Ensure apples are well distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until heated through and the top is lightly golden. A slightly jiggle-free center means it’s done.
- Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a spoonful of Greek yogurt. Top with toasted nuts or fresh berries if desired.
