The dish has a golden-brown crumbly top layer with a rough texture, dotted with whole, deep purple blueberries that peek through. A glossy, amber syrup is being poured over the cobbler, creating a shiny wet layer that drips slightly down the bowl's side. The background is softly blurred, focusing attention on the warm, textured dessert, with a white marbled surface below. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons rolled oats (for streusel topping)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (for streusel topping)
1 teaspoon melted butter (for streusel topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray two 2-cup glass bowls or oven-safe ramekins with non-stick spray and place them on a large baking sheet for stability.
Step 2: In a high-powered blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, banana, maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little milk if the mixture is too thick.
Step 3: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bowls, filling each more than halfway.

Step 4: Make the streusel topping by mixing rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle this evenly over the batter in each bowl.
Step 5: Top with blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, add them now. For fresh blueberries, add them about 15 minutes into baking to prevent sinking.
Step 6: Bake the bowls on the baking sheet for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7: Let the bowls cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow them to set completely.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen blueberries to keep them from sinking during baking.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth and flavor.

Swap maple syrup for honey or agave if preferred.
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based yogurt instead of cottage cheese.

Storage

Store baked bowls covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before eating. This makes them ideal for meal prep and grab-and-go breakfasts.
