Ingredients

  • cup butter
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1” overhang.
  • Add the butter, coconut oil and chocolate chips to a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate has melted and is smooth; remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together for 1 minute until the mixture is light and frothy, then whisk in the melted chocolate.
  • Next, add the cottage cheese and milk to a food processor and pulse until smooth. NOTE: you may need to scrape down the sides once or twice – you want the mixture to be as smooth as possible.
  • Add the whipped cottage cheese, along with the vanilla, almond flour and salt to the bowl and gently fold together with a rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, then bake the brownies for 35-40 minutes. Let the brownies cool in the pan completely, then pull on the tables to remove them. Slice into 9 large brownies or 16 smaller brownies and enjoy!
