Who says gut health and metabolic nourishment can’t taste like rich, chocolatey indulgence? 🍰🍫✨
Plus it’s squash season!! 🎃
Kabocha squash brings a natural sweetness, silky texture, and a burst of polyphenols and prebiotic fibers that your gut microbes love - paired with high-protein cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to keep your blood sugar steady.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup cottage cheese
* 1 cup Greek yogurt
* 2 eggs
* ½ cup kabocha squash puree
* ¼ cup almond flour
* 1 tbsp honey + monk fruit drops to taste
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 tsp cardamom
* Pinch of salt
* ½ cup cocoa powder (mixed into second half of batter)
Instructions:
1. Blend all ingredients except cocoa powder until smooth.
2. Pour half the mixture into a parchment-lined pan.
3. Blend cocoa powder into the remaining batter, spoon on top, and swirl.
4. Bake at 330°F (165°C) for about 35 minutes - middle should still be soft, so don’’t overbake. Cool, slice, top with fruit, and enjoy!
