Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cottage cheese*
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
- 1 banana
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two 2-cup glass bowls with a non-stick spray and place them on a large baking sheet.
- Step 2: In a high-powered blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, maple syrup, and baking soda. Blend until smooth; this may take a few minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk to thin it out.
- Step 3: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bowls, filling each more than halfway. Top each with blueberries.
- Step 4: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or up to 45 minutes depending on your oven. The bowls are done when the top is golden brown, puffed, and firm to the touch.
- Step 5: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. For meal prep, cover and refrigerate for up to one week.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on season. Frozen berries work well too but may release extra moisture.
- Swap the banana for applesauce or pumpkin puree for a different flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra warmth and depth.
Storage
Store the baked bowls covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, warm gently in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until heated through.

- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 cup Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two 2-cup glass bowls with non-stick spray and place them on a large baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Blend the batter: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, maple syrup, and baking soda to a high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, which may take a few minutes. If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out slightly.

Notes
- You can thin the batter with milk if it is too thick to blend smoothly.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, no need to thaw before adding.
- These bowls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week and reheated before serving.
