Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese blended
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark chocolate or milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, resembling a thick yogurt consistency, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Mix in the blended cottage cheese until well combined.
- Incorporate the almond flour, cacao powder, and baking soda into the mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth brownie batter.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top for a delightful touch.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly, and then sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 24–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs for a fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before slicing, as they will continue to set.
Notes
For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
