Apple Pie Cottage Cheese Protein Bowl
Method
Cook the apple: Place the diced apple in a small skillet over medium heat with the lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger and half the maple syrup. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Toast the oats and walnuts: Add the rolled oats and walnuts to the skillet during the final 2 minutes. Stir frequently until lightly golden and fragrant.
Make the protein base: In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla, chia seeds and remaining maple syrup until creamy.
Assemble: Divide the cottage cheese mixture between two bowls. Spoon the warm cinnamon apple mixture over the top.
Finish: Drizzle with almond butter and sprinkle with the toasted oat-walnut mixture, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
Vegan option: Replace the cottage cheese with 300 g blended silken tofu and the Greek yogurt with 100 g thick unsweetened soy yogurt. The remaining ingredients are naturally vegan. This bowl transforms the comforting flavour of apple pie into a high-protein breakfast. Warm cinnamon apples sit over creamy cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, while toasted oats, walnuts and pumpkin seeds add the satisfying crunch of a classic crumble topping.
