Ingredients
– 1 cup cottage cheese
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup sugar or sweetener of your choice
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for added texture
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk or electric mixer
– Measuring cups and spoons
– 8×8 inch baking pan
– Parchment paper (optional, for easier cleanup)
– Spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper if you’re using it, or simply grease it well. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, and melted butter, then blend until it’s smooth and creamy. I usually opt for a whisk, but if you want a super silky texture, using an electric mixer here does wonders! Once your mixture is smooth, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and whisk again until fully combined. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
