Optional Toppings

  • 1 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier taste, or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • Choose granola varieties that suit your dietary preferences, such as gluten-free if needed.
  • Fresh fruit can be seasonal and varied according to your taste.
  • Blending cottage cheese is optional but creates a smoother texture if preferred.
  • Nuts, seeds, and nut butter add texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits; adjust according to allergy considerations.
  • Serve immediately to prevent granola from getting soggy.
