Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup applesauce or 1 small grated apple
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup (if using), baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Rest Batter: Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes. This resting period lets the oats absorb moisture, improving the texture of the bites.
  4. Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop the batter evenly into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top for uniform size and baking.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool Down: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy the bites warm or store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They make for a convenient and healthy snack anytime.
