Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup. Stir in baking powder and salt until just combined.
  3. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
  4. Scoop the mixture into the muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and springy to touch.
  6. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
