Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (or preheat an air fryer to the same temperature). Lightly grease a small oven-proof dish.
- Place the cottage cheese in a bowl. Add the egg, sweetener, vanilla extract and half of the cinnamon, then mix until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the rolled oats, mixed spice and chopped chestnuts until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until just set and lightly golden on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with extra honey or syrup if desired. A spoonful of Greek yoghurt or custard also works beautifully.
