Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup oat flour
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
1 large egg
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup natural sweetener or sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth with no visible curds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, egg, and sweetener.
Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder until well combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure the cottage cheese is blended until completely smooth to achieve the best texture. If you prefer a dairy-free or different profile, you can substitute the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt, though the texture may vary slightly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days due to the high moisture content.
