Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder optional
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
1. Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
4. Stir in almond flour until the mixture thickens into a soft cookie dough texture.
5. Add vanilla protein powder and cinnamon if using, then stir again until smooth.
6. Fold in mini chocolate chips, saving a few for topping if desired.
7. Chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
8. Serve cold in small bowls, with fruit, or as a spoonable snack.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and blend it until no curds remain.
Chill the dough before serving so the almond flour can absorb moisture and create a thicker cookie dough texture.
Add almond flour one tablespoon at a time if the dough feels too soft, especially after adding extra sweetener.
