Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla in a food processor until completely smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into a lined 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–25 minutes, until edges are set and center still has a slight jiggle.
  5. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and slice into 9 squares.

Notes

Cool the brownies fully before slicing for the cleanest edges; they set up as they cool, so a little patience gives you neat squares. If you want them extra chocolatey, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
