  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Fit Flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Use a silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together until a thick dough forms.

  6. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for at least 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For the best results, use a Whey/Casein blend like PE Science (code BAKEDLEAN) if you are substituting any flour for protein powder. 100% Whey will result in a rubbery texture.
