💪 High-protein | Cozy breakfast | Meal-prep friendly

Directions:

📌 Step-by-Step

Step 1 – Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.

Step 2 – Blend for a Smoother Texture
Blend the cottage cheese for 5–10 seconds until mostly smooth. This gives the bake a softer, fluffier texture.

Step 3 – Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.

Step 4 – Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in almond flour (or oat flour), baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 5 – Fold in Extras
Add raisins or chopped pecans if using and gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6 – Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until set and lightly golden.

Step 7 – Add the Glaze
Mix glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the warm bake after baking.

Step 8 – Slice & Serve
Slice into pieces and enjoy warm for the ultimate cinnamon-roll flavor and texture.

Tips for Success

Blend the cottage cheese for the fluffiest texture.

The batter should be thick — that’s completely normal.

If using oat flour, bake 1–2 minutes longer.

Add the glaze after baking, never before.

For extra cinnamon-roll vibes: sprinkle extra cinnamon on top.

Variations

Nutty version: add chopped walnuts or pecans.

Protein boost: mix in vanilla protein powder.

Sweeter option: drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving.
