Cottage Cheese Protein Brownies Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey (or sugar substitute), applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth using a blender or hand mixer for a creamier texture.
- Add Mix-Ins (Optional): If using Lily’s Chocolate Chips or nuts, fold them into the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the brownies cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
