- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Blend cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sugar in a blender until smooth, about 60-90 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
- Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Notes
Using a blender ensures a smooth batter with a cake-like texture.
Baking at a lower temperature helps prevent the edges from drying out before the center is fully cooked.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to place on top for a pleasing presentation.
