Ingredients

Scale

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 lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  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. Mix until the batter is evenly combined.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Fold in the finely diced apples gently to distribute them throughout the mixture without mashing them.
  5. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the dish cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious, healthy treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Adjust sweetness by using more or less maple syrup or honey to your preference.
  • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding chopped nuts or raisins can enhance texture and flavor if desired.
  • Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness and acidity.
