Description

This Pumpkin Whipped Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl is a creamy and cozy breakfast option that combines the seasonal flavors of pumpkin and warm spices with protein-packed cottage cheese. Blended to a smooth, fluffy texture and lightly sweetened with honey or maple syrup, it’s topped with crunchy granola for the perfect balance of creamy and crisp—a guilt-free treat reminiscent of pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • ¼ cup granola (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add cottage cheese and pumpkin to blender: Place 1 cup of cottage cheese and ½ cup of pumpkin puree into a high-speed blender to prepare the creamy base of your breakfast bowl.
  2. Add honey, cinnamon, and vanilla: Pour in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness, sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon for warming spice, and add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  3. Blend until completely smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until it becomes thick, creamy, and fully emulsified. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
  4. Serve and top with granola: Spoon the whipped pumpkin cottage cheese into two bowls and sprinkle each with ¼ cup of granola for a satisfying crunch. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your preference for creaminess and fat content.
  • For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Choose unsweetened pumpkin puree to control the sweetness level.
  • You can swap granola for chopped nuts or seeds if desired or omit toppings for a smoother texture.
  • Prepare this breakfast bowl fresh for the best taste and texture; it can be refrigerated for up to one day but may lose its fluffiness.
