Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Blend the Cottage Cheese:
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
Mix the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, cocoa powder, oat flour, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.
Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy as a high-protein snack or dessert.
