Instructions
Prepare the cottage cheese by ensuring it is smooth and creamy. If your cottage cheese is lumpy, pulse it briefly in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth, about 10–20 seconds.
In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, oat flour, and salt. Mix until a dough-like texture forms.
Shape the dough into balls using a small cookie scoop or your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the dough bites for at least an hour to set before serving. For firmer bites, refrigerate for 2 hours.
Notes
Store the chilled bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze on a tray first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
