Description
A warm, slightly sweet, and protein-packed Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Bake, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 large apple, peeled and finely diced
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Butter or nonstick spray to grease the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Whisk together 2 cups cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey), and 1 tsp vanilla extract until mostly smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats (or 1/2 cup almond flour), 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp baking powder until evenly combined.
- Fold in the diced apple so it is evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it level with a spatula.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes. The top should be golden and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bake cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing — it firms up as it cools.
Notes
Serve warm with Greek yogurt or extra maple syrup, top with nuts, or enjoy with ice cream for dessert.
