Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl

This isn’t your average sweet yogurt bowl. This balanced cottage cheese bowl is a delicious mix of creamy, crunchy, savory, and just a touch of sweet. It’s an egg-free breakfast packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, and it’s perfect for toddlers learning to enjoy a variety of textures and flavors. Made with ingredients like banana, pumpkin seeds, granola, and (optional) dried herbs, this bowl is highly customizable and comes together in minutes. No cooking required. Plus, toddlers can help with every step: scooping, sprinkling, even taste-testing. Whether you’re introducing herbs to your little one, navigating egg allergies, or simply avoiding high egg prices, this is a nourishing, low-effort option you’ll come back to again and again.

Toddler Involvement Guide

Cooking is more fun when toddlers can take the lead! Here’s how to get them involved:

What toddlers can do

• Scoop cottage cheese into their own bowl.
• Wash fruit (berries, banana slices, or whatever you’re adding).
• Sprinkle toppings like granola, seeds, or dried fruit.
• Stir gently to mix everything together.
• Taste-test as they build their bowl

What adults may need to help with

• Cutting larger fruit into safe, toddler-sized pieces.
• Measuring toppings if you want to limit sugar or add-ins.
• Supervising scooping and stirring (especially if bowls tip easily).
