Ingredients

⅔ cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup sugar
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for the top

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and spray a 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a food processor or blender, blend together the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup and sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
Add the blended cottage cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and fold together until well combined. The almond flour will look a bit lumpy, but that is ok.
Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is cooked and a toothpick comes out clean.
