Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut flour (optional)
Instructions
1. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl.
3. Add maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until fully combined.
4. Stir in the almond flour and coconut flour (if using) until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
6. Scoop and roll the dough into small bite-sized balls.
7. Place the bites on a lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
If the dough feels too soft, add a little extra almond flour or chill longer before shaping.
Mini chocolate chips work best for even distribution in each bite.
