Primary Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely diced

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats (or almond flour), ground cinnamon, and baking powder thoroughly into the wet mixture for an even batter.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the finely diced peeled apples into the batter ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted in quantity to suit your preferred sweetness.
  • Using tart apples like Granny Smith can add a nice contrast to the sweetness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and served cold or reheated gently.
  • Ensure the baking dish is well greased to avoid sticking.
