INGREDIENTS

0.75 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 large egg

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener

0.5 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

0.13 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• 2

  Place the low-fat cottage cheese into a high-speed blender and process until the texture is completely smooth and liquid.

• 3

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla extract together until well combined.

• 4

  Stir the blended cottage cheese into the egg mixture until the base is uniform.

• 5

  Add the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and sea salt to the bowl.

• 6

  Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a thick, dark batter forms.

• 7

  Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

• 8

  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is just set but still slightly soft.

• 9

  Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan to allow the protein structure to firm up before slicing.
