• 1

  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-inch oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish.

• 2

  Place the cottage cheese, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender and process until the mixture is silky and smooth.

  Transfer 2 tablespoons of this liquid mixture to a small bowl and set it aside for the swirl.

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, chocolate whey protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt.

• 5

  Pour the remaining blender mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined into a thick brownie batter.

• 6

  Spread the batter evenly into the prepared dish, then drop small spoonfuls of the reserved liquid mixture on top.

• 7

  Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to swirl the white mixture into the chocolate batter for a marbled effect.

• 8

  Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is slightly soft to the touch.
