Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain cottage cheese
- 1 scoop chocolate-flavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1-2 ounces dairy milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the plain cottage cheese, chocolate-flavored protein powder, cocoa powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Add Milk: Gradually stir in 1 to 2 ounces of dairy milk to achieve a smooth batter consistency, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated without lumps.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage; the brownie should set but remain moist.
- Check and Cool: Carefully remove the bowl using oven mitts, check the brownie for doneness by inserting a toothpick (it should come out mostly clean), and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Adjust milk amount to reach desired batter thickness.
- Microwave times may vary; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- Use a sugar substitute suitable for your dietary needs.
- For richer flavor, consider adding a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
