Ingredients: • 1 cup cottage cheese • 2 large eggs • 1/4 cup peanut butter • 1/4 cup honey • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 2 cups rolled oats • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup peeled diced apples Methods: Heat oven to 350 F and line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper. Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. In a bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Stir the wet mixture into the oat mixture until fully combined, then fold in the diced apples gently. Spread the mixture into the pan and press it into an even layer so the bars bake up neatly. Bake for 26 to 32 minutes until lightly golden and set in the center. Cool before slicing. The apples stay tender, the oats stay soft, and the peanut butter gives every bite a rich cozy finish.
