Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Streusel Topping
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Melted butter
Instructions
- Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C). Lightly spray your 2-cup glass bowls or oven-safe ramekins with a non-stick spray. Arrange the prepared bowls on a large baking sheet for stability and easy handling.
- The Blender Magic: In a high-powered blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled old-fashioned oats, banana, maple syrup, baking soda, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, which should take a few minutes. If too thick, add a little milk to reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour, Streusel & Blueberries: Evenly pour the batter into each prepared bowl, filling them more than halfway. In a small bowl, mix the streusel topping ingredients—rolled oats, brown sugar, and melted butter—and sprinkle this evenly on top of each bowl. Finally, add the blueberries on top. For best results, use frozen blueberries to prevent sinking; if using fresh, add them about 15 minutes into baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet with the bowls into the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or up to 45 minutes depending on your oven. The bowls are done when the tops turn golden brown, puff up, and feel firm to the touch.
- Cool & Enjoy: Remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes to set completely. You can enjoy them warm or cover and refrigerate for up to one week for convenient meal prep.
Notes
- Using frozen blueberries prevents them from sinking through the batter during baking.
- If fresh blueberries are used, add them halfway through the baking to keep them on top.
- You can thin the batter with a little milk if the mixture is too thick before blending.
- These bowls can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Make sure to use oven-safe glass bowls or ramekins to avoid cracking in the oven.
