Description

Delicious and nutritious Protein Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Bites are a perfect no-bake snack packed with protein and rich flavors. Made with creamy cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and mini chocolate chips, these bite-sized treats are easy to prepare and great for satisfying sweet cravings while staying healthy.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 1/2 cups finely blanched almond flour (I like Bob’s Red Mill)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Add your cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth to create a creamy base for the cookie dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl and stir in vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and a pinch of salt to combine everything into a dough.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute the chocolate throughout.
  4. Shape Dough Bites: Using your hands, roll the cookie dough into bite-sized balls roughly the size of a golf ball. This recipe should yield between 15-20 balls.
  5. Store Properly: Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze them in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese depending on your preference and desired creaminess.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • Ensure the almond flour is finely blanched for best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch.
  • These cookie dough bites are best enjoyed chilled for a firm texture.
