A no-bake cookie dough bark made with cottage cheese, peanut butter, oat flour, and vegan protein powder for a high-protein, crunchy snack. Topped with melted chocolate for a creamy, nutty finish.
1 cup 2% cottage cheese
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups oat flour
1/2 cup vegan protein powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
In a food processor, blend cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add oat flour and protein powder, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Press the dough into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch metal baking dish, smoothing the surface.
Freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stove.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the dough and spread into an even layer.
Return to the freezer for another 10 minutes to set, then cut into small pieces or break apart.
Vegan alternatives are adapted with non-dairy protein powder.
Freeze in advance to speed up preparation.
Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variety.
Add 1 tsp cinnamon or mix in chopped nuts/dried fruit for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
