Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Vanilla or Chocolate whey protein powder (use a brand you enjoy the taste of)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan or a 6×6 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, and protein powder into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend the mixture on high for about 60 seconds until it is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no visible lumps of cottage cheese remaining, as this creates a silky, cheesecake-like texture.
- Pour the smooth batter into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth out the top so it sits evenly. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when the edges are slightly golden brown and the center is set but still has a very slight jiggle. Do not overbake, or the bars may become rubbery.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. For the best texture, transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Once chilled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and slice the block into four large bars. Serve them plain or top with a few fresh berries.
