Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Blend together the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar on high speed until smooth for 60-90 seconds.
In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together to incorporate air.
Combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Optionally, reserve some chocolate chips for the top.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center yields moist crumbs. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Using good quality cottage cheese enhances the flavor and texture of the brownies.
For a richer taste, use high-quality chocolate chips like Ghirardelli.
