Calories: 275kcal
Cost: $4.32 or $0.48/brownie
Equipment
- food processor or high-speed blender
Ingredients
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¾ cup milk of choice (I used Darigold Fit Skim Milk)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt together ½ cup chocolate chips and the butter, stirring frequently over medium-low heat until smooth. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Add the cottage cheese, milk, sugar, egg, and vanilla to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture and blend again until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a medium mixing bowl, then pour in the cottage cheese mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread the batter into an even layer. Top with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips, then bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until they appear set on the top and slightly gooey in the middle.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into 9 squares.
