Description

This Gluten-Free Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough is soft, sweet, and spoonable—packed with protein and made for guilt-free snacking. Perfect for no-bake cookie lovers craving a healthy treat!


Ingredients

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup oat flour (gluten-free certified)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)


Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

2. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Stir in almond flour, oat flour, and optional protein powder until combined into a thick, dough-like texture.

3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

4. Chill for 20–30 minutes for a firmer texture or eat immediately.

5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze portions for later.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best creamy consistency.

For extra protein, add your favorite vanilla protein powder.

Chilling the dough enhances the texture, making it easier to scoop.
