Fudgy and delicious brownies made healthier with cottage cheese and whole wheat flour, combining rich chocolate flavor with a moist, dense texture.

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

1/2 cup cocoa powder

3/4 cup whole wheat flour (white whole wheat preferred)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, melted chocolate, melted butter, vanilla extract, egg, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Process on high until fully blended.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter to a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly oiled or lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into 16 brownies.

Substitute whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour for a more classic texture.
Use avocado oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Swap mini chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for flavor variations.
Replace sugar with a sugar-free sweetener to reduce calories.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat brownies in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
