Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Blend cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar in a blender until smooth, about 60-90 seconds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the blended wet mixture with the dry ingredients gently using a spatula.
Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Using a high-quality cottage cheese enhances the texture of the brownies.
Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender.
These brownies taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
