Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cottage cheese*
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled old fashioned oats
  • 1 banana
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray the 2-cup glass bowls with a non-stick spray. Place the bowls on a large baking sheet.
  • Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, banana, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder to a high powered blender. Blend until smooth. This will take a few minutes. Mixture will be thick, but pourable.
  • Pour the batter evenly into each of the individual bowls. They will be about 2/3 full. Top with chopped pecans. Transfer to the oven.
  • Bake for 35 - 40 minutes. This will depend on the oven, and it may take a bit longer. The top will be golden brown, puffed up, and will be firm to touch.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before enjoying. You can also cover with a lid and place in the fridge for up to 1 week for meal prep.

Notes

*I prefer low-fat cottage cheese. But whole milk cottage cheese can also work.
