Description
This Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough has 28 grams of protein per serving and tastes like the real deal!
Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup cottage cheese (I use 2%)
- 1 tbsp almond butter or cashew butter (smooth)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 2 tbsp vanilla whey protein powder (I like Just Ingredients Vanilla Protein)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Add to a medium mixing bowl with the nut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Add the oat flour, protein powder, salt and chocolate chips and mix together. If you find the dough is too loose, gradually add some more oat flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches you desired consistency.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or enjoy right away.
Notes
- Strain the cottage cheese with a cheesecloth if it seems too liquidy.
- Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly until completely smooth.
- Adjust the maple syrup to taste depending on the sweetness of your protein powder.
- Add more oat flour if the dough is too wet, or a splash of milk if it feels too dry.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to make it thicker and more flavourful.
