Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, then mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms.
  6. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently so they stay distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten each cookie.
  8. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the pan before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for the best sweetness and soft texture.
  • Chop the strawberries small so the cookies hold together better.
  • Blend the cottage cheese first if you want a smoother cookie texture.
  • Do not overbake or the cookies can lose their soft, tender center.
  • Store the cookies in the refrigerator for an easy grab and go breakfast during the week.
