Description

Soft, fluffy mini pancake bites packed with cozy cinnamon-apple flavor and protein from cottage cheese. Made in the air fryer or oven for a quick breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

½ cup (120g) cottage cheese

1 egg

1 small apple, peeled and finely chopped

¼ cup oat flour (or almond flour)

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

Pinch of salt


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or air fryer to 325°F (160°C).

In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and egg until smooth.

Stir in chopped apple, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sweetener (if using), and salt.

Grease a mini muffin tin or silicone mold and fill each cavity about ¾ full.

Bake for 12–15 minutes or air fry for 8–10 minutes until golden and set.

Cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or chopped nuts for variety. Try using banana or pear instead of apple. Great for kids and perfect for meal prep.
