Ingredients
1cupcottage cheese(recommend 4% milkfat)
½cupoat flour
¼cupvanilla protein powder(recommend whey)
2tbspmaple syrup
½tspvanilla extract
¼cupdark chocolate chips
Instructions
Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla to a blender cup. Blend until smooth, then pour into a mixing bowl.
Add the oat flour and protein powder. Stir until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
While optional, it's recommended to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this will help it firm up a bit), then enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a thicker, chunkier cookie dough, add a little more oat flour. I like mine with a softer, creamier texture.
This makes about 3-4 servings, depending on your hunger level and personal eating habits.
The nutrition analysis will vary based on your protein powder and how much fits into ¼ cup. The weight that fits in that volume, and thus the amount of protein, depends on the type of powder. I used a whey protein powder where ¼ of a cup was equivalent to about ⅔ of a full scoop.
