Ingredients

Scale

For the Peach Topping

  • 2 cups diced peaches (fresh, frozen, or well-drained canned peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for a richer cobbler flavor)

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts

Optional Toppings

  • Ground cinnamon
  • Fresh peach slices
  • Chia seeds
  • Flaxseed
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Whipped cream (for dessert)
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Place the diced peaches in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and butter if using.
  2. Cook the Peaches: Cook the peach mixture for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften slightly and release their juices forming a light syrup. If using canned peaches, reduce cooking time to 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the peaches to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Warm peaches pair well with chilled cottage cheese.
  4. Prepare the Cottage Cheese: Divide the cottage cheese evenly between two serving bowls. For an extra-smooth texture, optionally blend the cottage cheese for 30 seconds before serving.
  5. Add the Peach Topping: Spoon the warm cinnamon peaches evenly over the cottage cheese, making sure to drizzle some of the flavorful syrup over each bowl.
  6. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle each bowl with granola and chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
  7. Garnish: Finish with optional toppings such as fresh peach slices, additional cinnamon, chia seeds, or fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Small-curd cottage cheese provides the creamiest texture.
  • Use ripe peaches for natural sweetness and juicy flavor.
  • Blend cottage cheese for a creamy, cheesecake-like consistency.
  • Use gluten-free granola for a gluten-free option.
  • Prepare the peach topping ahead and refrigerate for easy assembly.
  • Add toppings just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
  • To toast nuts, gently heat them in a dry skillet before adding.
  • Frozen peaches should be thawed slightly before cooking.
  • Adjust sweetener based on peach sweetness.
  • Not recommended to freeze assembled bowls, but peach topping can be frozen up to 2 months.
