Description
A quick no-bake cottage cheese cookie dough with oat flour, packed with protein and ready in 10 minutes. Kid-approved, refined sugar-free, and tastes like a real treat instead of a sad health food substitute.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Toss the cottage cheese, peanut butter, and maple syrup into a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until everything looks smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the oat flour, protein powder, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Stir well until you have a thick cookie dough texture.
- If too runny, sprinkle in more oat flour a tablespoon at a time.
- If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly spread out.
- Serve right away or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat or 4% cottage cheese for the creamiest texture. Don't overmix when folding in chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze rolled into balls for up to 2 months.
