Instructions

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

Notes

For a thicker brownie, use a high-quality cottage cheese like Good Culture.
Allow the brownies to cool completely for the best texture before cutting.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
