- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup protein powder, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Using a hand mixer or a whisk, thoroughly blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no cottage cheese curds remain. This step is crucial for achieving that classic cookie dough texture.
- Add the rolled oats, mini chocolate chips, and chia seeds (if using) to the blended mixture.1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold in the dry ingredients until they are just incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the mixture too dense. You want to maintain that delightful slightly lumpy cookie dough consistency.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the oats to soften slightly and the flavors to meld, resulting in a perfect cottage cheese cookie dough healthy protein treat.
- Once chilled, the cottage cheese cookie dough healthy protein treat is ready to be enjoyed. Scoop it into bowls or enjoy it straight from the container.
