Recipe Notes

  • Use the cottage cheese variety as per your preference. If you are using curd cottage cheese, reduce the amount of almond flour because curd has less liquid.
  • For best results, use 4% milk-fat cottage cheese.
  • For an additional flavor and crunch, you may add the dried fruit or nuts mix-ins. It makes the dough irresistible.

Variations in Ingredients

  • You can use the flour of any other seed in place of almond flour, for example, coconut flour. But it may not be as good as almond flour.
  • If you have a peanut allergy or do not like peanut butter, you can use alternative butter such as sunflower butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini butter. But the flavor may vary a little bit if you use other varieties of butter.
  • You can replace maple syrup with honey if you want. But I recommend using maple syrup.
  • The protein powder can be replaced with more almond flour if you do not have protein powder or do not want to add protein powder.
