🍫 Cottage cheese brownies

12 pieces · prep 15 min · cook 22 min

Ingredients

• 225 g cottage cheese
• 80 ml maple syrup
• 2 ripe bananas
• 70 g dark chocolate
• 2 large eggs
• 50 g all-purpose flour
• 30 g cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 40 g walnuts, chopped
• A pinch of salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a 20 cm square tin with parchment.
2. Blend the cottage cheese, maple syrup and bananas until completely smooth, then tip into a bowl. The blending is essential: it is what makes the cottage cheese grains disappear.
3. Melt the dark chocolate gently, let it cool slightly and stir it in.
4. Add the eggs and mix, then the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, until smooth. Fold in the walnuts.
5. Pour into the tin and bake 20 to 24 min: the edges should be set and the centre still slightly soft. A skewer comes out with moist crumbs, never wet batter.
6. Let them cool COMPLETELY before cutting — the cooling is what gives the fudgy texture.
