Baked Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples and cook for 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
3. Stir in the honey or maple syrup and cinnamon. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
5. Divide the cottage cheese mixture evenly into four oven-safe bowls.
6. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the caramelized apples.
7. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until heated through.
8. Once done, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Chef’s Tips

• Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet syrup.
• Add a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch and a boost of protein.
• For a richer flavor, mix a bit of cream cheese with the cottage cheese.
