2 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, cocoa powder, almond flour, protein powder, maple syrup, and chocolate chips.

Notes
For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter or use sunflower seed butter.
Swap almond flour with oat flour or ground oats for a different texture.
A pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon can enhance the flavor.
To make it sweeter, add extra maple syrup or a bit of honey.
