Ingredients
1 cup Full-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup Granulated erythritol
2 Large eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup Almond flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla extract, and erythritol. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps of cottage cheese remai
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt
- Pour the wet cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir well with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. Spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. These keto cottage cheese brownies should be set but still a little soft in the middle
- Let the Homemade Keto Cottage Cheese Brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing
Notes
Ensure cottage cheese is blended completely smooth for the best texture.
Do not overbake; remove when just set to avoid dry brownies.
Cool completely in the pan for the ideal fudgy consistency.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage (2-3 months).
