- For the baked blueberry cottage cheese bowl, preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray four small glass bowls with nonstick spray.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, maple syrup, and baking soda to a blender and blend until smooth and pourable.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared bowls.
- Scatter blueberries over the top of each bowl.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until golden and just set in the center.

Notes
Blend cottage cheese if you prefer a smoother texture. For the baked bowls, let them cool before eating so the centers finish setting. The classic savory bowl keeps up to 4 days, and the baked blueberry bowls keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator. The peanut butter banana and passion fruit bowls are best assembled fresh.
