This edible cookie-dough-style mixture is blended and stirred rather than baked. Cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla form the smooth base; almond flour and vanilla protein powder thicken it before the chocolate chips go in. Total preparation time is about 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips, or up to 4 tablespoons according to preference
- Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Blend, stir, and finish
- Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend until the cottage cheese mixture is smooth, pausing to scrape down the blender if needed.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a medium bowl. Add the almond flour and vanilla protein powder.
- Stir until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a cookie-dough consistency.
- Fold in 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips. For a more chocolate-filled version, the source notes that the amount can be increased to as much as 4 tablespoons.
- Top with flaky sea salt if desired, then serve.
The finished texture will depend in part on the cottage cheese and protein powder used, so mix thoroughly before deciding whether it has reached the desired consistency.
