Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup – see notes
- 1/2 cup oat flour or almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder – I used Clean Simple Eats brand
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips – I used Lily’s brand
- Flaky sea salt – optional for topping
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter and maple syrup to a high speed blender and blend on high until fully combined. Add the blended cottage cheese mixture to a medium size mixing bowl.
- Add in the flour, protein powder and vanilla and mix well to fully combine into a thick cookie dough. Note: if the cookie dough base appears to be too runny then add more flour, if it appears too thick then add more cottage cheese or 1-2 tablespoons of milk (any type).
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Serve or chill and enjoy!
Notes
- The protein powder you use matter’s since some are more dense than others. I tested this recipe with Clean Simple Eats brand (more smooth and runny) and Orgain brand (thicker and chunkier).
- You can choose to blend the cottage cheese or not. I found the cookie dough was easier to mix and had a better texture when blended.
- Add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup if you are using a protein powder that is less sweetened.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
