Ingredients

FOR COOKIE DOUGH

1 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup almond flour
1 ½ scoops vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips

FOR CHOCOLATE COATING

1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the cottage cheese mixture to a medium size bowl. Then add the almond flour and protein powder. Mix until combined. The mixture should resemble a thick cookie dough consistency.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Portion out the dough and add to mini muffin pan lined with muffin liners. Transfer them to the freezer to firm up for about 1 hour.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
Using a fork, dip each chilled cookie dough bite into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place them on a lined baking sheet to harden. Can add flaky sea salt on top if desired.
Once all the bites are coated, transfer the baking sheet back to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Then, indulge in these irresistible protein-packed treats!
