Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line four holes of a 12-hole muffin pan.
2. Blend the cottage cheese perfectly smooth, then mash the bananas and beat in the eggs, yogurt and oil.
3. Fold in the flour, cocoa and baking powder, stopping the moment the flour disappears.
4. Toss the cherries in a little flour, fold them through with the chocolate, and bake 18-20 minutes, until risen and springy to a press.
