Ingredients

3/4 cup cottage cheese For a smooth texture, ensure it's blended well.
2 each eggs Use large eggs for best results.
1 tsp vanilla extract Adds warmth and depth of flavor.
1/4 cup maple syrup Provides natural sweetness and moisture.
1/4 cup sugar Balances the sweetness of the maple syrup.
2/3 cup almond flour Contributes to the protein content and texture.
1/4 cup cocoa powder Use unsweetened cocoa for rich chocolate flavor.
1/4 tsp baking soda Helps the brownies rise and achieve a tender crumb.
1 pinch salt Enhances all the flavors in the brownies.
1/3 cup chocolate chips Fold in gently to distribute throughout the batter.

Equipment

Blender
8x8-inch baking dish
Mixing Bowls
Whisk

Method

Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, and sugar. Blend until smooth, for 60-90 seconds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading 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 into squares.

Notes

For an even richer chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients. Ensure the brownies cool completely for easier, cleaner cuts.
