Scroll down to the recipe card below for the entire recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First, melt the chocolate. Use either a double boiler or microwave. We recommend using chocolate that is free from processed sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Coconut sugar helps sweeten these healthy brownies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Blend the cottage cheese to avoid any lumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Any type of milk works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cocoa powder adds the chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We prefer using whole wheat flour for our baked goods. If you are gluten free, use gluten free flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A little baking soda helps these brownies rise. In addition, it prevents them from becoming too dense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lastly, sweeten the brownies with dark chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Ingredients for cottage cheese brownies.\" class=\"wp-image-218524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-267x400.jpeg 267w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-1200x1800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-1067x1600.jpeg 1067w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-720x1080.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-360x540.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-180x270.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-12_19-23-50_250-2025-07-13T23_00_25.784-150x225.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taste-texture\">Taste &amp; Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Expect a fudgy, chocolatey brownie with melty dark chocolate chips and just the right amount of chew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The blended cottage cheese adds moisture and creaminess without any noticeable dairy flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The result?
