Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls with Maple
Ease into fall with this delicious and healthy cottage cheese breakfast bowl filled with juicy apples, crunchy walnuts, chewy raisins and warm fall spices.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dry cottage cheese 453g (any % fat you like, I prefer 2%-4%)
- 2 ½ cups chopped apples 295g ( core removed, can peel if you like), divided
- 6 tablespoons lightly toasted walnuts chopped, divided
- 6 tablespoons raisins Thompson, golden etc, divided
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup plus extra for drizzling on top
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Combine everything in a medium bowl, except for ½ cup chopped apple, two tablespoons each walnuts and raisins. Mix well.
- Divide amongst bowls and garnish with the remaining half a cup of apples, walnuts and raisins. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a little drizzle of more maple syrup if you like. Serve.
- If only making one bowl and saving the rest for later only add walnuts to one serving, add the walnuts to the remaining servings just before eating so they stay crispy.
Notes
You can peel the apples if you like or keep the peel on. After chopping drizzle a little lemon juice over them to keep from browning.
This keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
