Equipment
- Food Processor
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon oat flour
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese. Add the cottage cheese to a food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy. This step helps create the perfect brownie batter texture without any lumps.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Once the cottage cheese is smooth, add the dry ingredients, protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and oat flour, directly into the food processor. Alternatively you can add everything to a large mixing bowl and mix by hand if you prefer.
- Blend until combined. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture forms a thick, brownie batter-like consistency. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure an even mix.
- Taste and adjust. Give the batter a quick taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa level if desired. You can also add a splash of milk of choice if the batter feels too thick, depending on the type of protein powder used.
- Serve and enjoy. Scoop the brownie batter into a bowl and enjoy immediately, or chill for 15–20 minutes if you prefer it cold. Top with chocolate chips, flaky sea salt, or a drizzle of cashew butter, almond butter or peanut butter!
