Description
These fudgy brownies combine cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for a protein boost while maintaining a deliciously rich chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs. Blend until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Let the brownies cool fully in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 8 squares.
