- 0.5 cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups cottage cheese blended smooth

Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, blended cottage cheese, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until no dry spots remain.
Add the finely diced apple and fold it into the dough until evenly distributed.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion 12 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each slightly.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
Cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling before serving.
