How much Protein is in Cottage Cheese?
Cottage cheese is really an amazing ingredient for those of us looking to hit a protein goal. I personally love it as it is also low in calories, which can be a tricky thing to find in protein heavy ingredients. In 1 cup of cottage cheese, there is up to 25g of protein! Making it one of the sneakiest must have ingredients if you’re looking to up your protein game.
What else can I put Cottage Cheese in?
I love using cottage cheese in recipes for a few reasons.
- Like we said above, it’s protein packed.
- There are tons of low fat versions.
- Most importantly, It had almost zero flavour. It kind of just tastes like soft milk. But that means you can add anything to it and it’ll absorb that flavour like a sponge. It’s the blank canvas of soft cheeses!

Can I make cottage cheese cookie dough with with oat flour?
For this recipe I used almond flour as it packs additional protein and keeps it gluten free. You can absolutely use oat flour as an alternative for this recipe. I would avoid using regular all purpose flour for this recipe as you will get a strong raw flour flavour that would ruin the whole batch!
