Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
Combine cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, almond or peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove when a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

Substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt if desired. For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips or nuts. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
