Carine’s baking tips
Allow me to share some other perfect brownies tips.
- Additional chocolate – Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking for an even richer flavor.
- Cool for clean slices -Make sure the browns cool completely before cutting. This helps them to consolidate and prevent them from being too fragile.
- Lower calorie option -If you want to reduce the number of calories, do not hesitate to use low fat box cheese.
- The lower choice of sugar -Choose the maple syrup without sugar to make these brownia smaller with sugar and a smaller carbohydrate treatment.
- The smooth battery is the key – Make sure it is sure to combine the cottage cheese well in the food processor until they remain bulging. Otherwise, Brownies will have a slightly strange and lively texture.
- Flavor improvements – Mix a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a small peak of salt in the final beat to improve the general flavor profile.
- Align the pan well – Because the beat is sticky, make sure you align the parchment pan and a light oil to prevent the brownies and make them easier.
- Press the baton evenly – Use the back of a tablespoon of oil or spatula to gently press the uniform sticky beating in the trained pan for a uniform baking.
