Why I Like this Recipe

I enjoy these breakfast bowls because they are creamy, filling, and simple to make ahead. The cottage cheese keeps them soft and adds lots of protein, while the mango gives a fresh, sweet flavour. They’re perfect for busy mornings when you want something ready to go.

Tips and Variations

  • Swap the mango for berries, chopped apple or pear.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Stir in a little vanilla protein powder, adding a splash of milk if the mixture becomes too thick.
  • Serve with Greek-style yoghurt or extra fresh fruit.
  • Add chopped almonds, cashews or coconut flakes for texture.
  • Drizzle with a little honey or nut butter before serving.
  • Enjoy warm from the oven or chilled the next day.

Meal Storage

Keep the baked bowls covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them gently in the microwave or eat them cold.

Freezer tips

Once the baked bowls are completely cool, you can freeze them. Wrap them well and store them for up to 2 months to keep their texture and flavour.

Let the bowls thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or microwave until they are warmed through before serving.
