Description
Fudgy high-protein brownies made with cottage cheese for a healthier twist on the classic dessert, blending smooth texture with chocolatey richness.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Place the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, and instant coffee in a blender. Process until completely smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir the wet blended mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in most of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the pan, sprinkle the remaining chips on top, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before cutting to ensure a fudgy texture.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies cool completely for the best fudgy texture.
- This recipe uses almond flour, making it naturally gluten-free.
- Substitute maple syrup for honey if preferred for a vegan-friendly option, but note the eggs make it non-vegan.
