Description
A creamy, no-bake, high-protein cookie dough made with cottage cheese and oats—perfect for post-workout fuel or a clean-eating dessert that satisfies your cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey/agave)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
2–3 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, oats, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
Add maple syrup and protein powder, then blend again until fully mixed.
Transfer to a bowl and fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop into balls and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Enjoy straight from the fridge or let soften at room temp.
Notes
Make it vegan by using plant-based cottage cheese and protein powder.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
Use almond flour instead of oats for a low-carb variation.
