Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or whole milk cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup high-quality chocolate protein powder (or 1/2 cup cocoa powder with a sweetener of choice)
- Optional: 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips for extra texture
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish or a loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal. Place the cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until it is completely smooth and creamy. It should have the consistency of heavy cream with no visible curds.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Fold in the blended cottage cheese and the chocolate protein powder. Stir until the batter is well combined and no dry clumps remain. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still have a very slight jiggle.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan for at least 15 minutes. This cooling phase is crucial for the brownies to set and achieve that fudgy texture. Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the brownies and slice them into four equal squares. Serve immediately or store them in the fridge for a chilled, dense treat.
