- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast bowls.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to blend flavor and texture.
- Incorporate eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add them to the cottage cheese mixture and mix until fully combined, providing structure for the bake.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the mixture, taking care to keep them intact and evenly distributed throughout.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and pour the mixture evenly into the dish, smoothing the top if needed.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the breakfast bowls to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute eggs with flax or chia egg replacer and use a dairy-free cottage cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
