Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the ripe bananas, eggs, cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together cacao powder, baking powder, and salt until there are no lumps.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the blended wet mixture gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly; check with a toothpick.
  8. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting out with parchment overhang.
  9. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt before cutting into squares.
