An apple cinnamon breakfast bowl takes less than 5 minutes to make and has the perfect mix of carbohydrates and protein to fuel a busy day!
My struggle to eat breakfast every day is real folks. I don’t get it. My kids wake up starving for breakfast and I can’t seem to get myself to eat anything other than coffee until after 10:00 am. This is unusual considering I’m up at 6:00 am most days so I know my body needs more than coffee in that four-hour time span. So, being the good sport I am, I took one of my favorite mid-morning “snack” foods and created a quick and easy breakfast out of it. The “it”? Cottage cheese. Breakfast? An apple cinnamon breakfast bowl.
While most smoothie or breakfast bowls call for milk and/or yogurt, I opted to make this apple cinnamon breakfast bowl with cottage cheese. I think it’s my crazy way of tricking my brain that I’m eating a snack vs. breakfast. I go through enough cottage cheese to feed a family of 6 each week. Seriously. My mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack usually consists of cottage cheese. In fact, it was one of the first dairy foods I introduced to both boys… so all three of us share a bowl or two every day.
I might kick and stomp my feet at the thought of eating breakfast, but this apple cinnamon breakfast bowl makes the feat that much easier [and tastier]. So if you are a breakfast hating, cottage cheese-loving person like me, you’ve got to try this recipe. Joey and Anthony give their taste of approval!
As fun and easy as this breakfast bowl is to eat, you could make it even easier by adding all of the ingredients in a blender, adding a cup of milk, and blending until smooth. Voila! A smoothie bowl! However you choose to eat it, this apple cinnamon breakfast bowl is the way to enjoy cottage cheese AND breakfast.

Love the idea of using cottage cheese instead of yogurt or milk. This looks delicious – a perfect fall breakfast!
Lots of fall flavors going on!
My daughter and I both love cottage cheese. I love how you used it here in place of yogurt
Thank you Allie!!
Yum, and love how easy this is! I don’t like to eat breakfast 1st thing in the morning {just coffee with milk please!} but I do try and eat something after I get my kids off to school. My struggle is getting my 14 yo daughter to eat breakfast at 6 am. {and I totally get that she’s not hungry then!}-I’m always looking for new options to have her try, and this looks like a winner!
I’m with both you and your daughter… Not a huge breakfast eater. Coffee coffee then maybe cottage cheese 🙂
I never thought to add cottage cheese to my breakfast, such a great idea!
Thanks Kalee!! It’s a favorite here.
Never thought to use cottage cheese instead of yogurt for breakfast! And I am totally in apple mode. 🙂

I love the addition of cottage cheese…an easy way to get protein in your day!
