Description
Soft, protein-packed breakfast cookies with cinnamon roll flavor made from oats and cottage cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 1/4 cups oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
- In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Gently flatten each portion into a cookie shape.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden on the bottom.
- Let cool slightly before serving; cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- Blend cottage cheese well to avoid lumps.
- Use quick oats for softer cookies or rolled oats for a chewier texture.
- If dough is too wet, add 1 tablespoon oats.
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and tender.
