Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in rolled oats (or almond flour), ground cinnamon, and baking powder until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring even distribution without mushing them.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serve warm.
