Method
 

How to Make Cinnamon Apple Cottage Cheese Bites
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing or lining it with muffin liners.
  2. Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix together until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Rest the batter for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
  4. Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool them in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge for up to 4 days!
