Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate melted
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter or avocado oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar coconut sugar, or sugar-free alternative

- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Start by adding cottage cheese, melted chocolate, melted butter, vanilla extract, egg, milk, sugar and cocoa powder to a food processor. Process on high until blended. Note: Avoid cracking the egg right on top of the melted chocolate or butter in the food processor if those ingredients are hot.
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
- Combine blended wet ingredients with dry ingredient and mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Transfer to a 9x9" baking dish lightly oiled or lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Note: different ovens may vary so make sure to test the center before removing from the oven :)
- Allow to cool and then slice into 16 brownies.
