Instructions

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

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips like Ghirardelli.
Let the brownies cool completely for better texture before cutting.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
