Protein Cookie Dough Without Peanut Butter or Protein Powder

This is an easy and convenient way to satisfy your cookie dough craving with a bonus shot of protein without having to use protein powder or peanut butter. Use your go-to creamy base—cottage cheese or Greek yogurt! It makes one serving, perfect as a guilt-free treat.

Oat Flour (Gluten-Free)

Step 1: Gather Your Easy Ingredients

First, collect your three ingredients. You'll be using creamy plain Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese that has been properly drained), oat flour, and a touch of maple syrup to sweeten. You'll also need a small spoon and a bowl. Imagine a clean, light-colored countertop with these three simple things neatly arranged, ready to be combined.

Pure Maple Syrup (Grade A)

Step 2: Mix Together

Place the Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) into your small bowl. Sprinkle the oat flour over the yogurt. Drizzle in the maple syrup. Gradually mix all together with your spoon to obtain a delicate, slightly thick dough. Picture a spoon moving the white yogurt and tan oat flour around in a clear glass bowl, its golden drizzle shining through.

Step 3: Enjoy Your Single Serving of Edible Protein Cookie Dough

Once your ingredients are well mixed, you now possess your delicious and nutritious one-serving edible protein cookie dough! You can simply lick it right from the bowl. For a decorative touch, consider adding a few miniature chocolate chips or sprinkles (optional, not part of the 3-ingredient total). Imagine a small bowl of light beige cookie dough with perhaps some tiny little dark chocolate chips spread atop, sitting on a wooden rural surface.

Recipe Notes:

• Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese: Either works! If cottage cheese, make certain it's well-drained to the correct texture.
• Oat Flour: Buy oat flour or blend rolled oats into a fine powder using your blender.
• Sweetness: You can vary the amount of maple syrup to your liking. You may also use other liquid sweeteners like agave.
• Add-ins: You may include a touch of mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for added flavor and texture. Note that this will change the calorie count and 3-ingredient nature of the original recipe.
• Low Calorie: The recipe is quite low in calories, yet nutritional value will vary depending on the ingredient and amount used.
