INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni (80g)
1/2 cup shredded Low-fat Cheddar Cheese (42g)
1/3 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese (75g)
1 Egg
1/4 cup Spinach and Carrot Puree (60g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat macaroni, shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, low-fat cottage cheese, and the egg. Stir until well mixed.
Fold in the spinach and carrot puree and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the greased mini muffin pan, pressing down lightly to compact the bites. Sprinkle whole wheat breadcrumbs on top of each bite for an extra crispy layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the bites are set.
Let the bites cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Enjoy warm as a satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.
