Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in protein powder, cocoa, and salt until evenly combined.
Add oats, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla then mix into a thick, sticky dough.
If mixture feels too loose, add a tablespoon of oats at a time until it firms.
Scoop roughly tablespoon sized portions and roll between palms into tight balls.
Roll each ball in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts if using, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange bites on a plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes to set.
Serve chilled or store as directed.

These bites are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
