⏱ Time Breakdown
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 18–22 minutes
Total Time: 25–27 minutes
Ingredients (Makes 4 Bowls)
1 cup cottage cheese (240 g)
2 large eggs
½ cup almond flour or rolled oats
(50 g almond flour for lower-carb
45 g oats for heartier texture)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped (about 120 g)
🔥 Directions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease four small oven-safe ramekins or one small baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt. For a smoother, more custard-like texture, you may blend the cottage cheese beforehand using a blender or food processor.
Step 3:
Add the almond flour or rolled oats, baking powder, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Gently fold in the finely chopped apple, making sure the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 4:
Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Step 5:
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The bowls will firm up a bit more as they cool.
🌟 Tips for Success
Chop apples very small so they soften beautifully while baking.
Blending the cottage cheese creates a smoother, cheesecake-like texture.
Sprinkle extra cinnamon or drizzle a touch of honey on top before serving.
For meal prep, store in the fridge up to 4 days and reheat gently.
