Baked apple cinnamon cottage cheese breakfast bowls are a healthy, protein-packed breakfast. They combine baked apples, warm cinnamon, and creamy cottage cheese for a comforting, sweet, and satisfying morning meal.
🧾 Ingredients (for 2 servings)

- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, or granola
👨🍳 Instructions

- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Prepare apples
- In a small baking dish, toss chopped apples with cinnamon and half the maple syrup. Dot with butter.

🌟 Tips
- Flavor boost: Add a pinch of Nutmeg or vanilla extract to the apples before baking.
- Make ahead: Apples can be baked in advance and stored in the fridge; assemble and warm before serving.
- Texture variation: Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve as a protein-rich breakfast with a cup of Tea or Coffee
- Add a side of Fresh berries for extra vitamins and color
- Sprinkle with Chia seeds or flax seeds for additional fiber and nutrients
✅ Fun fact: Cottage cheese is high in casein protein, which digests slowly and helps keep you full throughout the morning—making it ideal for a breakfast bowl.
