Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, depending on preference)
- 2 large eggs (for binding and protein)
- ½ cup rolled oats or oat flour (for a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats)
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract, cinnamon, or sweetener of choice (like stevia or honey)
