Cottage Cheese Cookie Skillet (High Protein)
This Cottage Cheese Cookie Skillet (High Protein) will be your new favorite dessert recipe. It has a soft molten cookie dough texture.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup full fat cottage cheese I think 2% could work but I wouldn't use low fat
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- tiny pinch salt
- ¾ cup +2 tablespoons oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½-1 cup dark chocolate chips + more for topping Adjust to your preference, I use a scant cup
optional toppings and sides
- vanilla ice cream
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a bowl and mix together until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spray a 10 inch skillet with oil. A cast iron skillet works best for this. Add batter to the skillet and and spread until it is an even layer. Top with additional chocolate chips. It will seem thin but will puff up in oven. Be warned it will look a little lumpy and weird at first but after baking the lumps dissolve.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. I baked mine for 25 minutes. The cookie will seem a little cake like and won't be hard.
- Let cool, top with flaky sea salt divide out and serve with ice cream (optional but recommended).
Notes
This skillet has a soft cookie dough like texture, it is not crisp like a traditional cookie.
Nutritional information is for ⅛ of the recipe which is a small serving.
If you want a completely smooth texture you can blend the cottage cheese but I skipped this. The lumps dissolve in the oven.
