Scale

1/2 cup of almond flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
2 eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan version)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the brownie batter.
Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out. Cut into squares and serve.
