Instructions

  1. Blend the base: Add cottage cheese, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Then, add the rolled oats and protein powder and pulse again until a thick cookie dough-like mixture forms. It should be scoopable and slightly sticky but not runny.
  3. Press into pan: Line a small baking sheet or pan with parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto it and press down evenly into a rectangle or square about ½-inch thick.
  4. Pop the pan in the freezer for 10–15 minutes while you melt your chocolate.
  5. Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with a drizzle of coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
  6. Add chocolate layer: Remove the pan from the freezer and pour melted chocolate over the dough. Use a spatula to spread evenly.
  7. Top with flaky sea salt or a drizzle of nut butter if you’d like.
  8. Freeze and slice: Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until the bark is firm and fully set.
  9. Once frozen, use a sharp knife to cut into bars or break into chunks. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
