Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Cottage Cheese blended
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 2 Eggs
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Blend the Cottage Cheese. Start by blending the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. This ensures there are no lumps, creating a rich and creamy brownie batter.
- Melt the Chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate until well combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake the Brownies. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and become extra fudgy!
