- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or butter, and set aside.

Add the 3 eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.
-
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is puffy, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
-
Let the brownies cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy your healthy collagen brownies!
