Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese can use low-fat or fat-free for a lighter version
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats quick oats work but may alter texture slightly
  • 1/2 cup Applesauce or Grated Apple mashed banana can replace applesauce for a different flavor
  • 1 large Egg for a vegan option, use a flax egg
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon nutmeg can be added for additional warmth
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup optional, can be omitted for a lower-sugar option
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt balances flavors and enhances sweetness

Equipment

  • mini muffin pan
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey if desired, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb some moisture.
  4. Fill the muffin cups nearly to the top with the batter, leaving a tiny bit of space.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
