This festive season brings good news for brownie lovers.
If you’re watching your waistline, you might think indulging in brownies is off the table. However, a game-changing recipe has just landed. Popular TikTok user @ketorecipes has unveiled a method for whipping up healthy brownies that’s causing quite the stir.
For those with a penchant for sweets, these brownies are not only delicious, but also supportive of your weight loss goals, so it’s pretty good news all around. With National Brownie Day on December 8, there’s no better time to don your apron.
The best part is they’re super simple to make, and you can whip them up in a few simple steps. You’ll need a rather unlikely ingredient – cottage cheese.
In the video, @ketorecipes says: “You wouldn’t believe the two secret ingredients in these homemade, healthier chocolate brownies. I’m using not one but two questionable ingredients here, but I promise these come out incredibly moist and super decadent.”
He added: “They’re only 135 calories a square. All you have to do is roast a butternut squash in the oven, process it with almond flour, cottage cheese, egg, cacao powder, monk fruit sweetener and baking powder in a small food processor.
“Bake it in the oven for 45 minutes. You can eat them as it is or topped with sugar free melted chocolate chips. Enjoy.”
This intriguing brownie recipe tutorial has quickly amassed over 3,000 likes since its debut online, sparking enthusiastic comments and a rush of people eager to trial the culinary delight themselves.
One follower raved after giving it a try, saying: “I made it and it was so good.” Another eagerly mentioned: “I need to make this.”
