Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, oats, applesauce or grated apple, egg, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to let the oats absorb some moisture.
