Can you put cottage cheese in brownies?

Yes! Cottage cheese blends into brownie batter to create a creamy, moist, protein-rich dessert that doesn’t taste “healthy” just delicious.

What does cottage cheese do in baking?

Cottage cheese adds protein, moisture, and creaminess. It creates a softer texture and replaces heavier ingredients like oil or cream cheese.

Absolutely. It gives a similar texture with less fat and more nutrients. Just make sure to blend it smooth before adding.

Not in the traditional sense but it breaks down and becomes undetectable in your batter. You won’t taste or see it at all.
