Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats (or almond flour), ground cinnamon, and baking powder into the wet mixture until evenly incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the finely diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare to Bake: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving warm for a comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • Maple syrup and honey are interchangeable sweeteners depending on dietary preference.
  • Freshly diced apples add texture and sweetness; feel free to use your favorite variety.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • This bake can be customized with nuts or raisins for added flavor and texture.
