Cottage Cheese Carrot Cake Bars are a protein-packed, low-sugar treat perfect for breakfast or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (can substitute with plant-based yogurt)
  • 2 Eggs (or flaxseed eggs for a vegan version)
  • 1 cup Almond Flour (or oat flour for a softer texture)
  • 1 cup Grated Carrot (freshly grated)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup or Honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (use pure extract for best results)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it is fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (can substitute with nutmeg or ginger)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (a pinch is sufficient)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional, omit for nut-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and grated carrots. Stir until well blended, and fold in nuts if using.
  4. Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  5. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
