Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Protein Brownies
- Begin by greasing a 9×9-inch baking pan with butter or oil and line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee until well combined.
- In a blender, combine the room-temperature cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend for 30-40 seconds until silky smooth.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the wet ingredients and blend for an additional 15-20 seconds.
- Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with flaked salt if desired.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Cool in the pan for about 40 minutes before removing.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing for a fudgy consistency. Let melted chocolate cool slightly before mixing with wet ingredients.
