Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
2-3 tbsp of maple syrup (I used 2 1/2 tbsp, use any sweetener you like)
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Note: You could add ½ serving of protein powder (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease two ramekins and place then on a small sheet pan for easy transfer. Set aside.
In a small skillet, add you shredded unsweetened coconut. Toast on low heat for 3-4 min, keep the coconut moving so it toasts evenly. You want a golden brown colour. Set aside to cool.
In a blender, add your cottage cheese, egg, sweetener, vanilla, pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of the toasted coconut. You could add protein powder if you choose to. Blend on high for 1 min. Now, add the rest of the toasted coconut and stir.
Divide the batter into the two ramekins. Bake for 20-25 min, until just set (a little jiggle in the center is ok)
Cool for 20-30 min, then refrigerate minimum of 1 hr (overnight is best).
These will keep in your fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
