Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough
Description
The recipe begins by blending cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth, creating a creamy base. To this, almond flour, protein powder, and peanut butter are mixed, establishing a thick, doughy consistency. Chocolate chips folded in add sweetness and a contrast of texture. The almond flour's fine grind helps achieve a smooth, tender dough.
This no-bake dough resembles traditional cookie dough but is enriched with cottage cheese and protein powder, making it different in nutrition and texture. It can be eaten directly from the refrigerator and is convenient for quick preparation.
The notes highlight that the variety of cottage cheese affects the amount of almond flour needed, with small curd varieties requiring less. This suggests the recipe can be adapted based on the texture of the cottage cheese used, offering flexibility in its preparation and final consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour fine
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter, natural
- ¼ cup protein powder I used Nuzest, vanilla
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor blend together the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the almond flour, protein powder and peanut butter until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Using small-curd cottage cheese reduces the almond flour needed due to its texture.
- You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter depending on preference or allergies.
- Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
