# What You'll Need:

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and breakfast-y without any real cooking or stress.
  • The contrast of warm spicy honey against cool creamy cottage cheese is genuinely addictive.
  • You can make it exactly the same way twice or completely different depending on what fruit and granola you have on hand.
02 -
  • The timing of eating this matters—serve it the moment you've drizzled the honey, because the heat is part of the whole point.
  • If your berries are very large or still a bit hard, let the bowl sit for one minute after assembly so they soften slightly from the warmth of the honey and cottage cheese.
03 -
  • If your hot honey solidifies in the fridge, warm it gently for 10 seconds in the microwave and it's liquid again.
  • Assemble this bowl just before eating so the granola stays crispy and the honey is still warm enough to matter.
