Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 large Egg (flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour (optional)
  • Sweetener to taste (monk fruit, stevia, or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the breakfast bowls.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even consistency.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the cottage cheese mixture, taking care not to break the berries, so they remain intact throughout baking.
  4. Transfer Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish. Optionally, top with a few extra blueberries to enhance presentation.
  5. Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the center jiggles slightly but is set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked bowl from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast or refrigerate to enjoy chilled as a refreshing snack.
