Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plain cottage cheese

• 1 scoop chocolate-flavored protein powder

• 2 tablespoons cocoa

• 1 tablespoon peanut butter

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1-2 ounces dairy milk

• 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Directions:

Step 1: Gather and Prep Ingredients

Gather your ingredients: ½ cup cottage cheese, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 ounces of milk.

Ensure everything is ready and within reach for a smooth cooking process.

Step 2: Blend Ingredients

Add all the gathered ingredients into a blender or food processor.

Blend or process the mixture until smooth.

If the mixture is too thick, gradually add more milk until you reach a somewhat thick but not soupy consistency.

Step 3: Prepare the Cooking Vessel

Optionally, coat a microwave-safe bowl with cooking spray if you want to remove the brownie easily later.

This step is helpful but not mandatory.

Step 4: Cook the Brownie

Pour the blended mixture into the prepared bowl. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Microwave the bowl on high for approximately 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent overcooking, which can result in a dry brownie.

Alternatively, if you prefer baking, preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Once cooked, allow the brownie to cool slightly before serving.

This cooling time will make it easier to handle and enhance the flavor.
