This Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Bowl is a quick, protein-packed breakfast or snack that combines creamy peanut butter with low-fat cottage cheese for a deliciously smooth and nutritious treat. Enhanced with honey and vanilla, it offers a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor, topped with crunchy nuts, fresh berries, chia seeds, and shredded coconut for a satisfying texture contrast.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural brand preferred)
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (4% fat recommended)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind, almond milk suggested)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
  • Drizzle of extra honey

Instructions

  1. Mix Peanut Butter and Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter (softened if needed), milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy to ensure all flavors are well blended.
  2. Fold in Cottage Cheese: Gently fold the low-fat cottage cheese into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, so the cottage cheese retains some texture and is evenly distributed throughout.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Pour the peanut butter cottage cheese mixture into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped nuts, berries, chia seeds, and shredded coconut on top. Drizzle with extra honey as desired, gently stir to combine slightly, and serve immediately for the best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond or oat milk if dairy-free or for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Chilling the bowl for 10 minutes before serving can enhance the texture and flavor meld.
  • Use fresh berries and nuts for optimal crunch and nutrients.
  • This recipe is easily customizable by adding other toppings like banana slices or granola.
