For the Bites

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, large egg, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir to create a thick and creamy batter.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to let the oats absorb some moisture.
Fill the prepared muffin cups with the batter, leaving a little space at the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops are set and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure cottage cheese is well-drained and allow the mixture to rest to achieve a tender bite.
