Peach Pecan Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake – Nutty, Fruity & Protein-Packed
🛒 What You’ll Need
- For the Protein Base:
- 2 cups Cottage cheese (blended for a smooth, cake-like texture!) 🥛
- 2 cups Oat flour or almond flour 🥯
- 4 large Eggs 🥚
- ¼ cup Honey or maple syrup 🍯
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
- 1 tsp Baking powder 🥄
- For the Fruity Nutty Topping:
- 1 cup Fresh or canned peaches, diced 🍑
- ½ cup Chopped pecans (for that perfect crunch!) 🥜
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar or coconut sugar (to create that golden glaze!) 🍬
- ½ tsp Cinnamon 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a round or square baking pan. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Fluffy Base: In a large bowl, whisk together your blended cottage cheese, eggs, flour, sweetener, vanilla, and baking powder until smooth. 🥣🌪️✨
- The Peach Fold: Gently fold half of your diced peaches into the batter and pour it into your prepared pan. 🍑🤝📐
- Create the Glaze: In a small bowl, toss the remaining peaches and chopped pecans with brown sugar and cinnamon. 🥜🍬🌿
- Top it Off: Spread the peach and pecan mixture evenly over the top of the batter. As it bakes, the sugar will melt into a beautiful, sticky glaze! 🍯🌊🤤
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set and the topping is bubbling and golden-brown as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🙌
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. It’s delicious served warm or cold! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Clean Slice” Secret: To get that perfect, fluffy interior shown in the photo, let the bake rest for 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven so it finishes setting! 🔪🛡️💎
- The “Creamy” Hack: Serve each slice with a dollop of Greek yogurt or an extra drizzle of honey to truly elevate your breakfast experience! 🥛🍯🎯
