Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar. Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
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. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting.

Notes

For best texture, ensure the cottage cheese is blended until smooth.
Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy consistency of the brownies.
Store in an airtight container to keep them moist longer.
