Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 oz) cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup rolled oats or almond flour
- ½ cup maple syrup or brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats (or almond flour), pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder, mixing gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bake cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Notes
- Use either rolled oats or almond flour depending on preference or dietary needs.
- Ensure pumpkin puree is 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, for best texture and taste.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but brown sugar can be used as an alternative.
- Let the bake cool before slicing to maintain shape and texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
