Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese (full fat preferred)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups almond flour (NOT superfine almond flour)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (I use Equip Prime Vanilla or Peanut Butter! - use code CHELSEAJOYEATS for 15% off)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.
- Add almond flour and protein powder, mixing with a spatula until fully incorporated. Finally, stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover and store in the fridge at least 3 hours, then enjoy. Will keep for at least 2 weeks!
Notes
- Want to make this without almond flour? Swap with 1/2 cup coconut flour. See the blog post for more substitution suggestions OR try Cottage Cheese Chickpea Cookie Dough instead!
- Using superfine almond flour seems to create a gritty texture. Not all almond flour brands are the same! I use Natural Grocers' store brand.
- Be sure to blend the cottage cheese until it's completely smooth. It should resemble yogurt or sour cream!
