These soft, golden breakfast cookies are packed with protein and sweet apple flavor. Cottage cheese keeps them tender, oats add wholesome texture, and a pinch of cinnamon makes them taste like apple pie. Bake a batch on Sunday and grab one on your way out — they pair beautifully with our Fluffy Kefir Pancakes for a lazy weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) cottage cheese
- 200 g (7 oz) apples (about 2)
- 1 egg
- 30 g (1/4 cup) rolled oats or oat bran
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- Mix the cottage cheese, egg, oats, cinnamon, and sweetener until smooth.
- Grate the apples or chop them finely and fold into the mixture; stir well.
- Drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form small cookies.
- Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Tips
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture. If you love cottage cheese breakfasts, also try our Cottage Cheese and Cheese Buns.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes — they firm up as they cool. Allrecipes has more ideas for make-ahead breakfast baking.
- Stir in a handful of raisins or chopped walnuts for extra flavor.
