Cottage cheese brownies fudgy protein boost with minimal effort Quick proteinrich dessert recipe satisfies cravings builds muscle 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  • To the same bowl, add the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an immersion blender or a standard blender to blend everything until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cottage cheese remain.
  • Gently whisk in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the top with those extra chocolate chips if you’re using them.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, use the parchment paper to lift them out, slice, and enjoy.

Notes

Unbelievably moist, deeply chocolatey brownies with a hidden boost of protein from cottage cheese. A fudgy, easy, one-bowl dessert that’s picky-eater approved.
