Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or rolled oats for a heartier texture)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Almond flour keeps this recipe low-carb, while oats add fiber and texture. Adjust the sweetener to taste
depending on the natural sweetness of your apples.

- Stir in almond flour (or oats), baking powder, salt, and chopped apple. Mix until evenly combined.
- Divide the mixture between the prepared bowls.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally drizzle with extra honey or top with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Storage & Make-Ahead
