03 - Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
04 - Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a small handful for topping the ramekins before baking.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Top each with the reserved blueberries.
06 - Place ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden brown.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with toasted nuts and an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein keeps you full for hours without feeling heavy
  • It tastes like dessert but happens to be breakfast
02 -
  • Let them sit for 5 minutes after baking because they firm up slightly and are easier to eat
  • The blueberries will bubble over a bit so put that baking sheet underneath unless you like cleaning your oven
03 -
  • Use room temperature cottage cheese for the smoothest mixture
  • Grate your lemon zest before you juice anything so you do not accidentally forget
