Step 1

Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the flour, brown sugar, salt, and butter into a food processor and pulse to break up the butter. Next, add the cottage cheese and pulse to combine. It should look crumbly, but not wet.

Step 3

Turn the processor on and slowly add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time. Once a ball has started to form you can stop.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and divide into two equal portions. Roll out one piece to 12×12 inches and then transfer it to the lined sheet pan. Set aside.

Step 5

Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and protein powder in a small bowl.

Step 6

Spread the brown sugar mix on top of the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the border to crimp the edges. Set aside.*

Step 7

Roll out the remaining dough and place on top of the brown sugar mixture. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Then, poke the fork into the top of the pop tart to stop air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350℉.

Step 9

While the pop tart is baking, make the glaze. Place the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla in a bowl and mix to combine. Cover with plastic wrap to stop a film from forming on top.

Step 10

Remove the pop tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes before topping it with the glaze. Slice into equal size squares or rectangles.
