How to Make Baked Peach Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your ramekins or bowls with coconut oil or butter.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a mixing bowl (or blender), combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy. This step makes all the difference — you’ll get that silky cheesecake-like texture!

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Pour the batter evenly into your ramekins. Gently press a few peach slices into each one. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top — because who can resist that cozy spice?

Step 5: Bake

Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, until set in the center and golden at the edges. Your kitchen will smell like a summer bakery!

Step 6: Serve Warm or Chilled

Enjoy warm right out of the oven with a drizzle of honey or let cool for a cheesecake-style breakfast. Both are heavenly!

What to Serve With It

Pair these bowls with:

• A hot latte or cinnamon chai
• A handful of toasted almonds or granola
• Fresh berries on top for extra color and texture

Or try serving alongside my Fluffy Lemon Ricotta Pancakes or Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use small curd cottage cheese for a smoother blend.
• If using frozen peaches, thaw and pat dry first to avoid excess moisture.
• Bake until just set — overbaking can make it rubbery.
• Add a crumble topping (oats, butter, and brown sugar) for a dessert twist!

Storage Instructions

Let bowls cool completely, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or enjoy cold for a grab-and-go breakfast.
They can also be frozen individually for up to 2 months — thaw overnight in the fridge.
