Ingredients

Scale

Main 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, for added sweetness)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Let Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture, which helps to improve the texture of the bites.
  4. Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top for uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the bites are set and have a light golden color on top.
  6. Cool: Let the bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking apart.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy the bites warm or store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for a quick, healthy snack anytime.

Notes

  • You can substitute the applesauce with a grated apple for added texture.
  • Use honey or maple syrup according to your sweetness preference or omit it for a less sweet version.
  • Ensure the cottage cheese is well drained for better batter consistency.
  • These bites freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
  • Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra flavor and texture.
