# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe bowl or ramekin (about 10-12 oz capacity) for your Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls | High Protein Breakfast. This ensures easy release and prevents sticking.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup 4% full-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until smooth and thoroughly combined, creating the velvety base for your breakfast.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, gently toss 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries with 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp lemon zest. This mixture will create a vibrant, flavorful swirl in your Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bowls.

Pour the cottage cheese base into the prepared oven-safe bowl. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the top. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the blueberries into the cottage cheese, distributing them evenly throughout the bowl.
