  • It takes less than five minutes to put together, so you can make it half asleep and still feel like you cooked something real.
  • The hot honey adds just enough kick to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the creamy cottage cheese.
  • You can eat it for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert if youre feeling rebellious.
02 -
  • Do not skip the hot honey. Plain honey is nice, but the subtle heat is what makes people ask for the recipe.
  • If your granola gets soggy, you waited too long. Make the bowl, eat the bowl.
  • Cottage cheese straight from the fridge is key. If its warm, the whole thing feels off.
03 -
  • If youre making this for kids or anyone wary of spice, start with less hot honey and let them add more if they want.
  • Keep a jar of hot honey in your pantry and this bowl becomes a go-to anytime you need something fast, filling, and a little exciting.
