Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (processed into flour)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.
Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly set.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cottage cheese is blended until fully smooth to avoid a grainy texture. You can substitute honey for maple syrup if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
