These brownies are rich, moist, chocolatey, and so good without the guilt. They are gluten-free, low in carb, and higher in protein thanks to the blended cottage cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 avocado, ripe enough to mash
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup of monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tbsp coconut oil, softened
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese, blended
• 1/4 cup fine almond flour
• 1/4 cup chocolate protein plain, low carb/sugar one (keto friendly)
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips + for more topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. To a large bowl, add an avocado and mash it well.
3. Then, crack in two eggs, add vanilla, sugar, coconut oil, and blended cottage cheese. Whisk well.
4. To the same bowl, add almond flour, protein powder, cacao powder, salt, baking soda, and mix to incorporate well.
5. Add chocolate chips and fold them.
6. Transfer brownie batter to the lined baking dish. Top with a handful more of chocolate chips and get it into the oven.
7. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Edges should be slight crispy, center should be nice and spongy.
8. Rest for 5 minutes, slice into squares, and enjoy.
9. Store these in an air tight container in the fridge up to 3-5 days.

1. NOTE: you can sub cottage cheese with plain greek yogurt or a dairy free yogurt alternative.
