Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granular sweetener (e.g., monk fruit, erythritol)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (45g) sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • Prepare the Batter:

    • In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, egg, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
    • Blend until smooth and well combined.
    • Optionally, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture.

  • Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool and Serve:

    • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
    • Enjoy as a protein-packed snack or healthier dessert.

Notes

  • Sweetener options: You can use any granular sweetener such as erythritol or allulose to suit your taste or dietary preferences.
  • Enhance the chocolate flavor by adding a teaspoon of instant coffee granules.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
