How to Make High Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in sugar, beating until combined.
  3. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together protein powder and flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the cottage cheese gently.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal texture.
