Description

Delightful bites combining creamy cottage cheese, hearty oats, and the warmth of cinnamon and apples, perfect for snacks, breakfast, or a healthy dessert.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup applesauce or 1 small grated apple
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.
  2. Combine cottage cheese, oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  3. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to let the oats absorb some moisture.
  4. Scoop the mixture evenly into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Let the bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Consider adding a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor or try incorporating chopped nuts or dried fruits for variety.
