Cottage Cheese Avocado Brownies, 2 versions

I got these recipes from frostyrecipes.com but there are a lot of pop ups which make the recipe difficult to read so I put them here for you with my adjustments.  Both versions are good, the 2nd version is a bit sweeter with the use of chocolate chips.  I would make the 2nd version again.
