Blueberry & Muesli Cottage Cheese Bowl Recipe

Introduction

This Blueberry & Muesli Cottage Cheese Bowl is a quick and nutritious breakfast or snack option. Combining creamy cottage cheese with fresh berries, crunchy granola, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

In the white bowl, there is a thick layer of creamy white cottage cheese topped with a generous layer of granola that includes oats and green pumpkin seeds, scattered evenly across the surface. On top of the granola, fresh, plump blueberries are spread out, their deep blue color contrasting with the creamy white base and golden brown granola. The dish is finished with a drizzle of light amber honey, adding a shiny texture to the top layer. Around the bowl on a white marbled surface, more blueberries are scattered, and a white cup filled with amber-colored tea is placed nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries
  • 1/4 cup granola
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Scoop the cottage cheese into a bowl and spread it evenly to create a base for the toppings.
  2. Step 2: Add the fresh berries on top of the cottage cheese. You can use a single type like blueberries or mix several varieties such as strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the granola over the berries to add a crunchy texture.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the maple syrup over everything and enjoy your bowl immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra protein and creaminess, stir a spoonful of Greek yogurt into the cottage cheese before adding toppings.
  • Swap granola for toasted nuts or seeds for a different crunch and flavor profile.
  • Use honey or agave syrup as an alternative to maple syrup if preferred.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic twist.

Storage

It’s best to enjoy this bowl fresh for optimal texture and flavor. If you need to store leftovers, keep the components separate—store cottage cheese in an airtight container and fresh berries in the fridge for up to 2 days. Granola should be kept dry in a sealed container. Combine just before eating to maintain crunchiness.

How to Serve

A light blue bowl filled with three main layers: the bottom layer is white soft cottage cheese with a creamy texture, the middle layer is a drizzle of golden honey seen on the white cheese, and the top layer has a mix of shiny, plump dark blue blueberries scattered alongside crunchy granola with seeds and small nuts, adding texture and color contrast. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface, with a white cup of dark brown tea in the background, and a folded blue and white checkered cloth beside it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
