Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender or food processor until completely smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are set.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness. You can make your own oat flour by pulsing rolled oats in a high-speed blender until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency. Ensure the cottage cheese is blended until absolutely smooth to achieve the desired cake-like texture.
