Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with mini muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, oats, applesauce (or grated apple), egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything until it’s well combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to absorb moisture and improve texture.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake in the oven for 18–20 minutes or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
