Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup (if desired), baking powder, and salt. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes to help the oats absorb moisture.
Portion the batter into your prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until set and lightly golden on top; a toothpick should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
