Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Notes

  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Use mashed banana instead of sweetener for a no-sugar-added version.
  • Swirl in peanut or almond butter for a richer flavor.
  • Oat flour is naturally gluten-free if certified.
  • Greek yogurt can substitute for cottage cheese with slight texture change.
