PUMPKIN PIE COTTAGE CHEESE PROTEIN SQUARES 🍂🤎 If you loved my pumpkin pie cottage cheese balls, you NEED to make these next. Same creamy pumpkin pie flavour, but pressed into squares and topped with a layer of white chocolate. I genuinely can’t get enough of these!!!🥹 As a nutritionist, I love making sweet snacks that have a little more going for them. These have protein from the cottage cheese + protein powder, pumpkin for some fibre and healthy fats from the almond flour, making them way more satisfying than your average sweet treat. Ingredients 1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup pumpkin purée
2 cups almond flour
2–3 scoops vanilla protein powder
2–3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of sea salt
3/4–1 cup white chocolate
1 tsp coconut oil
Pumpkin pie spice for topping Blend the cottage cheese, pumpkin purée, maple syrup and vanilla until completely smooth. Add the almond flour, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt and mix until a thick dough forms. Line a pan with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Freeze for 45–60 minutes. Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil and spread it over the top. Sprinkle with a little pumpkin pie spice and place back in the freezer for 15–20 minutes to set. Slice into 12 squares and keep stored in the fridge or freezer. Save these for your next fall sweet treat 🍂 #cottagecheese #cottagecheeserecipe #highprotein #highproteindessert #pumpkinrecip
