Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar on high speed until smooth, about 60-90 seconds.
In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until set, checking with a toothpick for a few moist crumbs. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a thicker texture, opt for high-quality cottage cheese, like Good Culture.
Reserve some chocolate chips to sprinkle on top before baking for added visual appeal.
Allow the brownies to cool completely for the best texture before serving.
