Cottage Cheese Blondies

Cottage cheese blondies are dense, chewy, and bursting with butterscotch-like sweetness — a lighter take on the classic blondie that sneaks in 16g of protein per square without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. The cottage cheese blends seamlessly into the batter, adding moisture and protein while keeping these bars incredibly soft and chewy. Unlike many protein-enhanced desserts that taste chalky or dry, these cottage cheese blondies are genuinely indulgent with a rich caramel-vanilla flavor profile. Brown sugar is the star sweetener here, creating those signature butterscotch notes that make blondies so irresistible. Add white chocolate chips and chopped pecans for a textural contrast that elevates these from good to extraordinary. Each bite offers a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors. These cottage cheese blondies are perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or any time you need a crowd-pleasing dessert that happens to be packed with protein. They cut into neat squares, travel well, and taste even better the next day. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. This is one of those cottage cheese recipes that proves you can have your blondie and eat it too — with protein.
