Description
A protein-packed breakfast bowl that combines creamy cottage cheese with warm cinnamon-spiced peaches and crunchy toppings for a satisfying, dessert-like start to your day without refined sugars or heavy carbs.
Ingredients
Cottage cheese 1 cup
Fresh peaches 1 medium
Ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp
Maple syrup 1 tsp
Pecans 1 tbsp
Graham cracker 1 small square
Instructions
Slice the fresh peaches into thin, uniform wedges
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the peach slices along with the cinnamon and maple syrup
Cook the peaches for three minutes until they soften slightly and release their natural juices
Place the cold cottage cheese into a wide-mouthed serving bowl
Pour the warm cinnamon-peach mixture directly over the center of the cottage cheese
Garnish with pecans and crumbled graham cracker
Notes
Use 2% or 4% fat cottage cheese for best texture
Frozen peach slices can be a suitable substitute for fresh
Roasted walnuts can be used instead of pecans for similar texture
Graham cracker is optional; skip for a nut-free option
