Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, resembling thick yogurt, and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Mix in the blended cottage cheese until fully combined.
Add the almond flour, cacao powder, and baking soda, mixing until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and topping with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for about 24–26 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before slicing, allowing them to set.

Notes

For a deeper chocolate flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the batter.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
For extra fudginess, do not overbake; keep an eye on the toothpick test!
