🎃 Enjoy a protein-rich Pumpkin Pie Cottage Cheese Bars recipe with creamy layers and warm pumpkin spice flavors.
🥧 These bars offer a healthier dessert option that’s soft, flavorful, and easy to make with simple ingredients.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

– 2 cups cottage cheese

– 4 eggs

– 1 cup pumpkin puree

– ¼ cup protein powder (optional)

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

– ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

– ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

– ½ cup coconut sugar

– ¼ cup whole wheat flour

Instructions

1-First: preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 x 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

2-Next: combine all ingredients except the flour in a blender and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth, which helps create that creamy texture.

3-Add the flour and pulse for 10 seconds, being careful not to overmix to avoid a chunky result; this step ensures the batter remains light and airy.

4-Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is lightly browned with a slight jiggle, and a knife inserted comes out clean.

5-Let the bars cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting to allow them to set properly.

6-For a firmer texture, refrigerate the bars for 2 hours or overnight, which is great for meal prep or making them ahead for busy schedules like those of working professionals or weekend grill masters.
