Ingredients

½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup (55 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese, I used 4%
1 egg
¾ cup (180 ml) milk, I used high protein soy milk
½ cup (40 g) cocoa powder
2 tablespoons caster sugar, use 4 tablespoon for a sweeter brownie
2 tablespoons brown sugar, use 4 tablespoon for a sweeter brownie
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a square 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave or over a water bath. Make sure it’s not too hot - if needed, let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the melted chocolate mixture, cottage cheese, egg, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the wet ingredients and stir using a spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top. If you like, sprinkle with extra chocolate chips.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let cool completely before slicing into 16 brownies. Enjoy!

Notes

Sweeter brownies: Just double the amount of sugar if you like your brownies sweeter.
