Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups full-fat cottage cheese preferably large curd for best texture
  • 1 large egg large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
Optional toppings
  • sprinkle of granola
  • extra blueberries
  • drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  • dollop of Greek yogurt

Equipment

  • Oven-safe ramekins or a small baking dish
  • Medium Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins or one small baking dish with butter or cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and ensures easy serving.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, large egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and relatively smooth. Don't worry if there are a few small lumps of cottage cheese; they will soften and meld during baking.

  3. Add the almond flour, cinnamon, and salt to the cottage cheese mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the final product tough.

  4. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, there's no need to thaw them beforehand; they will release their juices as they bake, creating beautiful purple streaks in the bowls.

  5. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins or pour into the single baking dish. Place the ramekins (or dish) on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, and the center is mostly firm. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  7. Let the bowls cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows them to set up further. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
