Ingredients (10)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps (6)
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
