Delicious and moist cottage cheese brownies made with wholesome ingredients like oat flour and coconut sugar. These brownies are rich, fudgy, and perfect for a healthier dessert option, featuring a smooth batter blended to perfection and baked to a gooey finish.

  • Total Time: 32-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (60 grams) oat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Add-ins

  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend wet ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and melted coconut or avocado oil. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dutch-processed cocoa powder, oat flour, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or spoon until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the batter for an extra chocolatey finish.
  6. Transfer batter and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes to firm up before slicing into 12 servings. Enjoy your fudgy cottage cheese brownies!

Notes

  • Using full-fat cottage cheese will yield richer brownies, but low-fat works well too.
  • Oat flour provides a gluten-free option; make sure it’s certified gluten-free if you have celiac disease.
  • Do not overbake as the brownies will continue to set while cooling, keeping a fudgy texture.
  • Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variation.
  • These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
