@joytothefood: High protein apple fritters! 7g protein & 2g fiber per fritter and no processed sugar in the batter! Only what’s in the glaze :) Here’s how to make it! 1 cup all purpose flour 3 teaspoon baking powder ¾ teaspoon salt ¾ cup cottage cheese (2% low fat, whey mixed in) 2 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 apple (peeled and diced super small) ¼ c egg whites Glaze 1 cups powdered sugar ⅛ cup milk ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Blend together the ¾ cup cottage cheese, 2 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ c egg whites, and 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon until no curds remain. In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer with the padel attachment), whisk together the 1 cup all purpose flour, 3 teaspoon baking powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Then pour in your liquid cottage cheese mixture. Mix together until a dough forms. Then fold in the diced 1 apple. Scoop out 6 fritters (I like to use an ice cream scoop for this) and align on the tray. Give them at least 2" of space between each other. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown all over. Alternatively, you can air fry them for 10-15 minutes. See notes for making mini apple fritters. Once baked, let them cool completely (transfer to the fridge or freezer to speed this up) Meanwhile, make the glaze by mixing the 1 cups powdered sugar, ⅛ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, and Pinch of salt in a bowl until a glaze forms. Keep this at room tempurature until ready to use. When the fritters are cool, carefully dip the top of each one into the glaze and then place them back on the lined sheet tray to dry/harden. Once set up, enjoy! As always find more details, storage info, & nutrition on our site Joytothefood.com :) #highprotein #noproteinpowder #healthydessert #EasyRecipe #apples
