This High-Protein Apple Breakfast Cake Will Change Your Mornings!

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Grease an 8x8 baking dish (or a 9x9 if preferred).

Dice one large honey crisp apple and squeeze 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice on it to prevent discoloration.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the diced apple and mix together, then set aside.

In a medium to large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1/2 cup sprouted rolled oats, 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup hemp seeds, and 1/4 cup ground flax seeds. Whisk to combine.

Add the spices and leavening agents: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the dry mixture and whisk again. Set aside.

In a blender, combine the wet ingredients: 3/4 cup milk, 2 large room temperature eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 cup cottage cheese. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth.

Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until nicely combined.

Add the diced apples to the mixture and stir to combine.

Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and sprinkle flaky almonds (or other toppings like pecans or walnuts) on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
