Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Line a brownie tin with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor add 1 Egg, 200 g Fat free cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, gently heat 110 g Dark chocolate chips and 35 g Coconut oil together until silky and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Pour the cottage cheese mixture into a mixing bowl and add 70 g Flour, 60 g Cocoa powder, 65 g Coconut sugar, 25 g Protein powder, 1 teaspoon Baking powder and 190 ml Milk. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
  • Add the melted chocolate and mix it in.
  • Pour the batter into the lined tin and sprinkle over 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate chips.
  • Put into the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Make sure you let the melted chocolate mixture sit for 2 minutes before folding it into everything, because you don't want the cheese to curdle.
  • Your chocolate brownies with cottage cheese will still look a little wobbly/jiggly when they come out of the oven (but shouldn't be really wobbly), as they will still continue cooking as they cool down. You don't want to over-cook these.
  • Every oven cooks differently, so start checking on these at 20 minutes. They could also take up to 25 minutes.
  • You can use brown sugar in this recipe if you want a more caramlized flavor.
  • The cottage cheese has to be blended, otherwise the texture won't be right.
