Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing or lining it.
In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce, egg, cinnamon, and sweetener. Mix until well blended.
Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes.
Scoop the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean.
Cool the bites in the pan for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
