Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat, well-drained
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil, melted
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flaxseed
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth-lined sieve for about 5 minutes to remove excess liquid.
  2. In a food processor, combine the drained cottage cheese, rolled oats, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and optional ground flaxseed and cinnamon. Pulse until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or water.
  3. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and melted coconut oil.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough into bite-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon or 15 g each). Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
  5. Refrigerate the cookie dough bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for up to 3 months if desired.

Notes

Drain the cottage cheese well to avoid watery dough. Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution. Chill bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Wet hands slightly before rolling if dough is sticky. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before chilling for extra flavor.
