  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup oat flour (or blended oats)
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.

2. Blend the Batter

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, oat flour, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a thick batter.

3. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional)

  • If you’re using dark chocolate chips, stir them into the batter by hand.

4. Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The brownies should be soft and fudgy.

5. Cool & Serve

  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This ensures the texture sets perfectly.
  • Slice into 12 pieces and enjoy your protein-packed treat!
