A quick and easy no-bake cookie dough snack that’s creamy, chewy, and packed with protein using cottage cheese, oats, and natural sweeteners. Perfect for guilt-free snacking anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or dairy-free)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl for 5 minutes to remove excess liquid.
  2. Transfer the drained cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer or immersion blender until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in almond butter and sweetener; beat until fully incorporated and creamy, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gently fold in rolled oats and mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and let flavors meld.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Drain cottage cheese well to avoid watery dough. Blend cottage cheese until very smooth for best texture. If dough is too dry after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of milk. If too wet, add more oats gradually. Store in fridge up to 3 days; avoid freezing. Gentle folding preserves oat texture. Optional toppings: pinch of sea salt, fresh berries, or sliced banana.
