Ingredients

1 cup Cottage cheese (small curd works best)
1 cup All-purpose flour (can be substituted with oat flour for a gluten-free option)
2 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Preparation Steps
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Create the Dough:
In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese and honey until well combined. Gradually fold in the flour and half of the cinnamon (½ tbsp). Mix until a soft dough forms.
Pro Tip: If the cottage cheese is very watery, you can blend it first for a smoother, more uniform dough texture.
Shape the Bites:
Using slightly damp hands (to prevent sticking), scoop about one tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a small ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
The Cinnamon Topping:
Dust the remaining ½ tbsp of cinnamon over the tops of the bites. For an extra touch of sweetness, you can mix the cinnamon with a teaspoon of granulated stevia or coconut sugar before dusting.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the bites are firm to the touch and slightly golden on the bottom.
Serve:
Enjoy these warm! They are delicious on their own or served with a side of Greek yogurt for dipping.
