Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup cottage cheese (thick)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (optional, for additional sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup oat flour, plus more if needed
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (or swap 2 tablespoons for chocolate protein powder)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the maple syrup, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract to the blended cottage cheese, and mix to combine.
- Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips, and mix together, adding more oat flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the batter feels too loose.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or enjoy right away.
Notes
- Store in the fridge up to 5 days.
- For an extra protein boost, swap 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder for chocolate protein powder.
- Adjust the maple syrup and monk fruit to taste. You can use just maple syrup or your sweetener of choice.
