A warm and comforting Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Bake that combines creamy cottage cheese with tender apples, fragrant cinnamon, and wholesome oats or almond flour. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a delightful snack, this bake is naturally sweetened with maple syrup or honey and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish thoroughly 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 into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. Incorporate Apples. Gently fold the finely diced apples into the batter to ensure they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
  5. Prepare for Baking. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond flour for rolled oats to make it gluten free and give a nuttier texture.
  • Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
  • Ensure the apples are finely diced so they cook evenly and blend well with the cottage cheese batter.
  • Allow the bake to cool briefly before slicing to maintain structure and ease of serving.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bake, add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup or honey.
