Ingredients
• 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter or almond butter
• 1 cup heat-treated oat flour or almond flour
• 1/4 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
• 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine the cottage cheese, sweetener, vanilla, and nut butter in a powerful blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Move the creamy cottage cheese mixture to a bowl.
Mix in the oat flour, protein powder, and salt until a firm dough forms.
Gently incorporate the chocolate chips.
Notes
If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you can absolutely use an immersion blender directly in the cottage cheese container or a sturdy whisk to get the cottage cheese, sweetener, vanilla, and nut butter as smooth as possible before incorporating the dry ingredients.
The final dough consistency can vary slightly depending on the moisture content of your cottage cheese and the type of flour used. If the dough feels a little too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches your desired firmness. If it seems too dry, a tiny splash of milk or a little more nut butter can help.
When adding the chocolate chips, use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold them in. Overworking the dough at this stage can sometimes lead to a tougher texture.
Don’t be afraid to taste the mixture before adding the chocolate chips and adjust the sweetness or vanilla if needed. Remember, the flavors will meld beautifully as it chills.
