Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and make sure to measure them accurately.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, nut butter, cocoa powder, honey (or syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no clumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oats, salt, and optional chocolate chips or nuts.
- Pour the blended mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. You can use your hands to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. You should end up with about 12-15 bites.
- Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, or enjoy immediately if you're impatient!
Notes
These protein bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer-lasting goodness, freeze them for up to three months, dividing with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
