Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your mini muffin pan.
Combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, applesauce (or grated apple), egg, cinnamon, and optional sweetener in a mixing bowl.
Mix in baking powder and salt, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and slightly chunky.
Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes to absorb moisture.
Fill each cup of the muffin pan with the batter, almost to the top.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden on top and set.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for later enjoyment.
