Follow the easy steps below, watch the short video tutorial, or do both!

Ingredients:

1. 3/4 cup of cottage cheese (170g)
2. 2 Tbsp of sweetener (sugar, stevia, honey, etc.) (28g)
3. 1/8 tsp of salt (1/2g)
4. 2 large eggs
5. 2 Tbsp of cocoa powder (14g)
6. 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder (7g)
7. 1 scoop of whey protein, vanilla or chocolate (30g)
8. 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, optional (60g)
9. 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, optional (80g)

Equipment:

1. Bowl
2. Whisk
3. Sifter
4. Spatula
5. 5x9-inch bread pan
6. Parchment paper, optional
7. Food processor, optional

Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.

Add the cottage cheese, sugar or other sweetener, and the eggs to a large bowl and mix with a whisk or food processor.

NOTE: If you don't want large chunks of cottage cheese in the final baked brownies, use a food processor or blender to break them down, and make sure to use small curd cottage cheese.

Next, add the salt, baking powder, cocoa powder, and whey protein powder to a shifter or sieve, and add it to the bowl.

Stir or whisk those ingredients in, followed by the walnuts and chocolate chips, which are both optional.

Line a small baking pan, like a 5x9-inch loaf pan, with parchment paper, or spray it with some cooking oil or use shortening.

Add all the batter to the pan. Then bake it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow it to cool and then cut into squares. I usually make 8 brownie squares.

Enjoy! I like to eat them for a high-protein snack during the day, or for breakfast. Kind of nice eating brownies for breakfast!
