Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour (or rolled oats for a heartier texture)
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts
- Extra apple slices
- A drizzle of additional maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180 °C (about 350 °F) and grease ramekins or a small baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour (or rolled oats), vanilla extract, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until you achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
- Add Apples: Gently fold the diced apple pieces into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Divide the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or pour it into the baking dish for a casserole-style presentation.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges turn slightly golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the baked bowls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to firm up before serving.
- Add Toppings: Finish by adding optional toppings like chopped nuts, extra apple slices, or an additional drizzle of maple syrup to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with rolled oats for a heartier texture.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or your preferred sweetener.
- Use fresh apples for best flavor, but dried apples may also be used if rehydrated slightly.
- These bowls can be prepared in advance and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
- For a dairy-free version, consider substituting cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
