Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cottage cheese (or blend curd-style until smooth)
- 1 cup almond butter (unsweetened)
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
Instructions
- Prep the Cottage Cheese: If using curd-style, blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix whipped cottage cheese, almond butter, cocoa powder, and sugar until a thick batter forms.
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Fill and Bake: Spread batter evenly in the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until set in the center with moist crumbs on a toothpick.
- Cool and Slice: Let cool completely in the pan. Chill for cleaner slices, then cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
These brownies are extra fudgy when slightly underbaked and chilled. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For a flavor twist, add 1 tsp espresso powder or fold in chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.
