Banana Cottage Cheese Brownies

מצרכים

• 4 very ripe bananas (about 350 g / 12 oz without peel)
• 250 g (1 cup) low-fat cottage cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 30 g (⅓ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• Optional: finely shredded coconut

אופן ההכנה

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a 20 × 10 cm / 8 × 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Blend the bananas, cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt until completely smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the top.
3. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centre still has a gentle wobble. Let it cool fully, then chill for at least 2 hours for the best dense, fudgy texture.
4. Cut into 12 pieces and add a light sprinkle of coconut, if desired.
