🍎✨ Cinnamon Apple Cottage Protein Squares
Apple cinnamon continues to dominate viral breakfast favorites — and this bake proves why.
Soft apple pieces melt into hearty oats while cottage cheese keeps everything moist and tender without feeling heavy. The edges firm up beautifully, the center stays soft and sliceable, and the aroma? Pure apple pie comfort.
Be honest… who’s grabbing the corner piece first? 👀
