How to make Chocolate Cottage Cheese Brownies
Cottage cheese brownies are made simply with:
To make these gluten-free, no-sugar-added brownies, do the following:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. In a food processor or high-speed blender (I use Ninja Kitchen or Vitamix), combine eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Pour in the melted chocolate and puree again until blended.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sweetener, and cocoa in a medium bowl. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (or until a knife comes out cleanly from the center of the dish). Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 9 brownies.
