This Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Bake is creamy, packed with protein, and has just the right amount of sweetness to start your day right. Perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese, smooth small-curd variety
  • 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Set them aside.
  3. In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
  5. Stir in the oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Fold the diced apples gently into the mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set but slightly wobbly.
  9. Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like a drizzle of honey, chopped nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
