This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the guilt. It’s a great way to sneak in extra protein and enjoy a satisfying treat.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz of cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter of choice like almond butter or cashew butter)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or sugar-free)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps of cottage cheese remaining.
- Transfer the mixture into a large bowl.
- Stir in almond flour until well combined. The mixture should form a dough-like consistency. You may need to add a little more almond flour if it’s too wet.
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Enjoy immediately! For a firmer texture, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tips and Variations:
- Nut Butter Options: Experiment with different nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Sweetener Alternatives: You can use honey, agave nectar, or stevia instead of maple syrup. Adjust the amount to your liking.
- Add-ins: Get creative with add-ins! Try chopped nuts, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Vegan Option: Use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative and vegan chocolate chips.
Why This Recipe Works:
The cottage cheese adds a creamy texture and a significant boost of protein, making this cookie dough a healthier and more satisfying option. The peanut butter provides healthy fats and delicious flavor, while the almond flour keeps it gluten-free.
Enjoy! 🧡
