Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
Step 2: Blend Cottage Cheese
Blend cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Make Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, blended cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth. Fold in optional chocolate chips if using.
Step 4: Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly fudgy.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing. This helps them firm up and enhances the texture.
