Ingredients

Scale

2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1 ½ cups low-fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons Truvia (or natural sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: honey, granola, chopped nuts

Instructions

Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a small baking dish (8×8 or similar).
Prep apples: Peel and chop apples into small bite-sized pieces.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, Truvia, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add oats & apples: Stir in rolled oats and chopped apples. The mixture will be loose — this is normal.
Bake: Pour mixture into the prepared dish, spread evenly, and bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and set.
Cool & serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese; avoid fat-free varieties.
Blend cottage cheese first if you prefer a smoother texture.
Don’t skip the eggs — they help the bake set.
Sweeten naturally with fruit, Truvia, or maple syrup.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 4–5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
