Ingredients

Scale

🛒 Ingredients (8×8-inch pan):

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add‑Ins:

  • ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil (for extra fudginess)

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.
