Cottage Cheese Brownies

 



I made these cottage cheese brownies the other day. I used sugar free syrup, cocoa and cottage cheese. I just wanted to document this as I am thinking it needs flour and butter to be a real brownie as healthy as it may sound.

1c cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2c cocoa
1/2c sugar free syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Blend all ingredients, adding the cocoa powder at the end.  Bake at 350F in an 8" x 8" pan for 25-
30 min.  I used a larger pan so my baking time was 15 mins.

Yum. They look tasty. It's always fun to try no combinations to make things, isn't it?

If I'm going to eat a brownie, I prefer a real one, Christine.

Flour would make it bulkier. Try it.

Trying healthier options is smart!

I like that you’re experimenting with ingredients and noting what could make them more traditional, baking is all about trial and taste, after all. Even as-is, they look like a wholesome little treat worth trying.

I've tried substitutes to make sweets healthier, but decided I prefer to splurge on a small amount of the real sweet.

Neato. I like yams and yoghurt but love that you found another fun add.
