Ingredients
- 100 g
Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 885 g before cooking, which is about 100 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) (350 °F (180 °C)). Line a 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some paper overhanging the sides so the brownies can be removed easily.
Place the cottage cheese and peanut butter in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, with no visible lumps.
Add the eggs to the blended mixture. Blend again until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
Add the cocoa powder and coconut sugar. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms, scraping down the sides of the container if necessary.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, making sure it reaches the corners.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slightly fudgy, moist texture. Do not overbake, as it will continue to set as it cools.
Let the brownie cool completely in the pan before cutting it into 9 portions.
For an even denser, moister texture, refrigerate the brownie for at least 1 hour before cutting or serving.
