Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese
Roasted Strawberry Mixture
- 8 strawberries, quartered
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (plus more for topping)
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the quartered strawberries, rolled oats, unsweetened coconut flakes, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Toss everything together until the strawberries and oats are evenly coated with the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture.
- Roast Mixture: Spread the mixed strawberry and oat mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting. After baking, remove the mixture and let it cool for about 5 minutes to slightly caramelize and thicken the flavors.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon 1 cup of cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Top it generously with the roasted strawberry mixture. For added sweetness, drizzle extra maple syrup over the top if desired. Enjoy your tasty, protein-packed breakfast bowl!
Notes
- You can substitute rolled oats with quick oats but reduce baking time slightly to avoid burning.
- For a dairy-free alternative, use plant-based cottage cheese or Greek-style yogurt.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to taste or substitute with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
- To enhance texture, sprinkle additional coconut flakes or nuts on top before serving.
- This bowl can be enjoyed warm or chilled; refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
