Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your mini muffin pan.
Combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey (if using), baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
Fill each muffin cup in the prepared muffin pan nearly to the top evenly.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the bites in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
