Creamy Buffalo Corn & White Bean Cottage Cheese Dip (High-Protein)

Jump to Recipe

if you love buffalo dip but want something that actually nourishes you, this one’s for you!!

this creamy, baked buffalo cottage cheese dip is rich, cheesy, and spicy, yet packed with protein thanks to a blended cottage cheese and white bean base.

it’s the kind of recipe that feels indulgent but fits effortlessly into a macro-balanced lifestyle.

taste & texture

this dip is ultra-creamy and smooth with just enough heat from the buffalo sauce to keep things interesting.

blending the cottage cheese and beans creates a thick, velvety base that bakes up beautifully, while the roasted corn adds subtle sweetness and the pepper jack melts into little pockets of gooey goodness.

it’s rich without being heavy and scoopable without being greasy.

macros & nutrient density

this dip isn’t just high-protein, it’s also incredibly nutrient-dense.

per serving (8 servings total):

• ~195 calories
• ~13–14g protein
• ~15g carbs
• ~9–10g fat
• ~3g fiber

between the cottage cheese and white beans, you’re getting high-quality protein, fiber for blood sugar balance, and minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron.

the addition of corn and spices brings antioxidants and flavor without relying on excess oil or cream.

substitution options

this recipe is very flexible depending on what you have on hand:

• beans: cannellini beans or garbanzo beans both work perfectly
• cheese: swap pepper jack for mozzarella, colby jack, or a reduced-fat blend
• buffalo sauce: use your favorite brand or a milder sauce if you’re spice-sensitive
• corn: fresh, frozen, or canned (just drain well)
• dairy-free: use dairy-free cottage cheese and shredded cheese alternatives if needed (texture will be slightly less creamy but still delicious)

how to serve

this dip is perfect for:

• crackers or pita chips
• sliced bell peppers, carrots, or celery
• tortilla chips for a game-day vibe
• spread inside a wrap or quesadilla for a protein boost

it works equally well as a party appetizer or a high-protein snack you keep in the fridge for the week.

storage & reheating

store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. the dip thickens slightly as it cools, making it even easier to scoop the next day.
