Ingredients

Scale

1 ¾ cups almond flour

¼ cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup mini chocolate chips

⅛ teaspoon salt


Instructions

1. Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until completely smooth.

2. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend again until well combined.

3. Transfer mixture to a bowl and gradually stir in almond flour until a thick dough forms.

4. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Add almond flour gradually to avoid dry, crumbly dough.
