We propose a new formulation of f(R) gravity, referred to as scalarized f(R) gravity, which incorporates the Legendre transform as a dynamic term. This results in a theory with second-order field equations that describe general relativity with a self-interacting scalar field, without the need for introducing conformal frames. We demonstrate that the quadratic version of scalarized f(R) gravity reduces to general relativity with a massive scalar field, and explore its implications for Friedmann cosmology. Our findings suggest that scalarized f(R) gravity may provide simplified descriptions for cosmological applications, while the proposed formulation offers a new perspective on the relationship between f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theories.
