🍎❤️ A LITTLE APPLE CINNAMON GOODNESS TO START THE DAY!
This morning’s kitchen experiment turned out pretty darn delicious! 😍
I wanted something warm, satisfying, and a little healthier to start my day, so I put together this Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake.
Cottage cheese, oatmeal, fresh apples, cinnamon, a little banana, and a crunchy mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
Easy to throw together, full of flavor, and perfect for making breakfast a little more exciting!
And of course, I had a very interested kitchen supervisor keeping an eye on things. 😂🐾 Laney never misses an opportunity!
🍎 APPLE CINNAMON COTTAGE CHEESE BREAKFAST BAKE
Ingredients:
½ cup cottage cheese
1 packet (1.2 oz) apple cinnamon instant oatmeal
1 large egg

½ tsp vanilla
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ small apple, diced
1 packet Nature’s Garden High Energy Mix (½ mixed in, ½ on top)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 6 × 8-inch baking dish.
Hand-mix cottage cheese, egg, banana (if using), and vanilla.
Stir in oatmeal, baking powder, and cinnamon.

A little reminder that eating better doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Sometimes it just means getting creative!
❤️ A LITTLE LIFE UPDATE:
Between kitchen experiments, keeping up with Laney, and helping people find their place to call home, there’s never a dull moment around here!
Whether it’s a new recipe, a new adventure, or finding the right place to call home in the beautiful foothills of Western NC, I love helping people make the most of life’s next chapter.
I’m Nichole with True North Realty, and there’s always room for a little more connection around here! ❤️
