Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup pure honey (or maple syrup, adjusted to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Optional Mix-ins:
¼ cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth with no lumps.
Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend briefly until the batter is thick and fully combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into 9 squares. This step is key for that fudgy texture!
Notes
Cooling fully ensures the brownies have the perfect fudgy consistency.
Sweetness can be adjusted by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days for a cool, chewy texture.
These brownies are naturally gluten-free and flourless—great for a high-protein treat!
