Instructions
- Add the @[Cottage Cheese] to a #[Blender] or #[Food Processor]. Blend on high for ~[30–45 seconds] until completely smooth and creamy with no visible curds. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the @[Almond Butter], @[Maple Syrup], @[Vanilla Extract], and @[Fine Sea Salt] to the #[Blender]. Blend again until fully combined and silky smooth, about ~[20 seconds].
- Transfer the blended mixture to a #[Mixing Bowl]. Stir in the @[Oat Flour] (and @[Coconut Sugar] if using) with a #[Spatula] until a thick, scoopable dough forms. If the dough feels too loose, add another tablespoon of @[Oat Flour].
- Fold in most of the @[Mini Chocolate Chips], reserving a small handful for topping. Taste and adjust sweetness with more @[Maple Syrup] if desired.
- Scoop into bowls or serve straight from the #[Mixing Bowl]. Top with the reserved @[Mini Chocolate Chips] and a pinch of @[Flaky Sea Salt]. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an #[Airtight Container] for up to ~[4 days].
