Ready for some super easy, flavor packed, and cheap protein bars made with cottage cheese? This protein bar recipe is fun to make and only take a few ingredients that you probably already have!

Ingredients needed for the crust:
1 1/4 Cups (100g) Rolled Oats
2 Teaspoons Brown Sugar Substitute
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 Ounce Milk Substitute
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter or Coconut Oil

Ingredients needed for the bars:
2 Cups (452g) Fat Free Cottage Cheese
2 Ounces Greek Yogurt (Your choice flavor)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2-4 Tablespoons Sweetener (I prefer Erythritol)
2 Large Whole Eggs
1-2 Scoops Protein Powder (Your choice flavor)
*Add in or on top whatever you want (Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, dried fruit, etc)

TIPS:
Factor in the calories from whatever you add inside or on top of them after (it’s easy)!
Keep them in the fridge and they should last 5-7 days!
Make them in bulk and freeze them!
