Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Without Protein Powder
This edible cookie dough offers a healthier twist by using cottage cheese as the base, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor without the need for protein powder. It's customizable, allowing you to adjust sweetness and mix-ins to your preference.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup cottage cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ to 1 cup oat flour (add gradually to achieve desired consistency)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips or preferred mix-ins (e.g., chopped nuts, dried fruits)
Instructions
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy, eliminating any lumps.
- Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually incorporate the oat flour into the mixture, mixing slowly to prevent clumping. Continue adding until the mixture achieves a dough-like consistency. If the dough is too sticky, add more oat flour in small increments, being cautious not to make it too dry.
- Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Once combined, the cookie dough is ready to enjoy immediately or can be chilled for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Homemade oat flour: Blend rolled oats until finely ground.
- Adjust sweetness based on personal preference.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
