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 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.

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.
