Xanthan Gum Free Gluten Free Peach Pecan Cottage Cheese Bowl
Ripe summer peaches, toasty spiced pecans, and creamy cottage cheese come together in a bowl that feels indulgent but takes almost no time to pull off. The whole thing is naturally free of any gums or stabilizers — no ingredient here needs a thickener to hold it together, which makes it a genuinely fuss-free option when you're avoiding additives like xanthan gum. Full-fat cottage cheese brings a rich, protein-packed base that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of fresh peaches and a generous drizzle of honey. Toasting the pecans in a dry skillet with cinnamon and salt is a small step that makes a huge difference, adding warmth and crunch to every bite. A touch of vanilla stirred into the honey before drizzling ties everything together with a subtle, aromatic finish. This is the kind of bowl that works just as well for a quick breakfast as it does for a light dessert — no baking, no blending, and nothing complicated standing between you and a seriously satisfying meal.
