Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned oats 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions 

  • Add the oats to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are finely-ground and flour-like in consistency. Transfer the oats to a medium bowl then stir in the cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
  • Add the cottage cheese, honey and vanilla extract to the bowl of the food processor and pulse until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Stir the cottage cheese mixture to the bowl with the oats then stir in the chocolate chips. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Protein boost: Stir in a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder along with the oat flour. Or, swap the Old Fashioned oats for Bob's Red Mill Protein Oats for a whopping 74 grams of protein for the entire batch.
  • Nut butter: Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite nut butter.
  • Storage & Freezing: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. I love scooping the dough into an ice cube mold before freezing for perfectly portioned, grab-and-go bites.
