In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, chocolate protein powder, mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt.

Mix everything until it forms a thick, cohesive batter, about 2-3 minutes.

If the mixture feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water and mix again for a well-distributed texture.

Scoop out the batter and roll into 1-inch balls, making approximately 20 bites.

Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
