Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage cheese preferably low-fat or fat-free, well-stirred until smooth
  • 1/2 cup Almond flour lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup room temperature liquid
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract pure
  • 1/2 cup Oat flour measured and slightly leveled
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt pinch
  • 1/4 cup Dark chocolate chips optional, for tossing into the dough
  • 1/4 cup Chopped nuts optional, walnuts or almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup Dried fruits optional, raisins or chopped dates, chopped if large
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut optional, unsweetened
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon optional, for warm aroma

Instructions

  • Prepare the cottage cheese by ensuring it is smooth and creamy. If your cottage cheese is lumpy, pulse it briefly in a blender or food processor until mostly smooth, then measure 1 cup.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until blended. Add the oat flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough-like texture forms.
  • Fold in any optional add-ins like dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or cinnamon. Mix evenly.
  • Shape the dough into balls using a small cookie scoop or your hands (about 1 tablespoon per ball). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill the dough bites for at least an hour to set before serving. Store chilled and enjoy within 3–5 days.

Notes

These bites are best served cold or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
