Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Grind the Oats: Add the oats to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground and have a flour-like consistency. Transfer the ground oats to a medium bowl, then stir in the ground cinnamon and kosher salt for flavor enhancement.
- Puree Cottage Cheese Mixture: Place the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract into the food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy, which should take about one minute, ensuring a well-blended texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the smooth cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly. Then, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, distributing them throughout the dough.
- Serve: Serve the cookie dough immediately as a nutritious, protein-rich snack or dessert. Enjoy the creamy, oat-filled cookie dough without baking.
Notes
- This cookie dough is best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
