01 -
2 cups 2% low-fat cottage cheese
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
04 -
1/2 tsp lemon zest
05 -
1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp pure maple syrup

1/4 cup granola
11 -

Fresh mint, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two small oven-safe bowls or ramekins (about 8-10 oz each) with cooking spray. This prepares them for your delicious Creamy Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups 2% low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, gently toss 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries with 2 tbsp pure maple syrup and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. This creates the sweet, vibrant swirl that will elevate your Creamy Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls.
04 -
Divide the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the two prepared oven-safe bowls. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the cottage cheese base in each bowl. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the blueberries into the cottage cheese mixture.
05 -
Place the bowls on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cottage cheese is set, lightly golden around the edges, and the blueberries are bubbly. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
06 -
Carefully remove the Creamy Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls from the oven. Immediately sprinkle each with 1/4 cup granola and 2 tbsp chopped pecans. Garnish with fresh mint before serving warm for a delightful treat.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra creamy texture, blend the cottage cheese base ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth before assembling.
02 -
These bowls are delicious warm straight from the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 -
Feel free to substitute other berries like raspberries or mixed berries for the blueberries, adjusting sweetness as needed.
04 -
Serve these as a satisfying breakfast, a light lunch, or even a wholesome dessert.
