Instructions

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

Notes

Using good quality cottage cheese enhances the texture of the brownies.
Be careful not to overbake, as the brownies should remain fudgy and moist.
Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature for better texture before serving.
