- 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

Equipment

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to lift out the bars.
- Mix the oats, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp crumbs.
- Press two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let the crust cool slightly.
- Blend the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Toss the peaches with the lemon juice and brown sugar. Arrange the peaches over the warm crust.
- Pour the cottage cheese filling over the peaches and sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 38 to 45 minutes, until the center is nearly set and the topping is golden brown.
- Cool the bars completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing.
