Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray (or butter) a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. 1 Blend together [wprm-ingredient text="¾ cup cottage cheese" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="3 tablespoons melted butter" uid="10"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup brewed coffee" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 eggs" uid="2"], and [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="3"] until no curds remain. To a large bowl combine this mixture with [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup cocoa powder" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup coconut sugar" uid="6"], [wprm-ingredient text="¾ cup oat flour" uid="7"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon baking powder" uid="8"], and [wprm-ingredient text="¼ teaspoon salt" uid="11"]. Then fold in the [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup chocolate chips" uid="4"].Pour 3/4ths of this batter into the prepared pan. 2 In a mixing bowl, use a hand beater to whip the [wprm-ingredient text="½ c cream cheese" uid="13"] until fluffy. Then mix in the [wprm-ingredient text="1/3 cup pumpkin puree" uid="14"], [wprm-ingredient text="1/8 cup pure maple syrup" uid="15"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice" uid="16"], and [wprm-ingredient text="1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="17"].Pour this over the chocolate batter and spread it evenly across it. Then dollop the rest of the chocolate brownie batter over the pumpkin batter and swirl it all together with a knife. 3 Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is set and not jiggly. It will be soft like pumpkin pie still, but should feel like pressing foam. Firm but soft. Finish with flaky sea salt. 4 Let it cool completely before slicing into 9 slices and digging in!View original recipe
