Ingredients

  • cottage cheese
    1 ½ c
  • eggs
    4 large
  • rolled old fashioned oats
    1 c
  • banana
    1
  • canned pumpkin puree
    ¾ c
  • maple syrup
    ⅓ c
  • cinnamon
    2 tsp
  • pumpkin pie spice
    1 tsp
  • baking powder
    1 tsp
  • pecans
    ½

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
