Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the room-temperature eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blended cottage cheese and pulse until well combined.
  4. Whisk together unsweetened cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, maintaining a thick batter.
  6. Stir in mini dark chocolate chips if using.
  7. Let the brownie batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift out and slice into squares.
