Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (recommend 4% milkfat)
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (recommend whey)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup dark 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.
