- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
- Whisk the oat flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt together. Stir in the blended cottage cheese mixture until the batter is evenly combined.
- Mix the Greek yogurt, coconut, pecans, maple syrup, and vanilla in a bowl. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes so the coconut softens slightly.
