Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in granulated sugar, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Whisk together unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
