Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese adds protein and moisture
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder rich chocolate flavor
  • 2 large Eggs provides structure and binding
  • 1 cup Oats wholesome base for texture
  • 1/4 cup Honey natural sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder helps brownies rise
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Add the oats, honey, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mixture.
  2. Blend until fully combined and the mixture is thick.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out evenly.
  4. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  2. Lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Cut into squares and serve, or store for later.

Notes

Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter option. Mix until just combined to maintain a fudgy texture. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh longer. For added richness, drizzle with melted dark chocolate before serving.
