A quick and easy high-protein cookie dough made creamy and smooth with blended cottage cheese, perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese, full fat or low fat, blended smooth
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) natural peanut butter, creamy or chunky
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) rolled oats, ground or whole
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (225 g) of cottage cheese in your blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) natural peanut butter with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup or honey. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add the blended cottage cheese to the peanut butter mixture and stir well. Then add 1/3 cup (30 g) rolled oats, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in 1/4 cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips using a spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed but not smashed.
  5. Optional: Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for 15-30 minutes before serving to firm up and enhance flavor.
  6. Serve by scooping by the spoonful or rolling into small balls. Optionally, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese until very smooth to avoid grainy texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. If dough is too wet, add oats teaspoon by teaspoon; if too dry, add a splash of almond milk or more maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
