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 until smooth, about 60-90 seconds.
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 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 or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a thicker texture, choose a high-quality cottage cheese.
Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy consistency.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
