Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- If you are using chocolate chips, fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter at this stage for added richness and texture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure even baking.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges look set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares. Serve them as a delicious treat or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality almond flour for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling.
- Don't overmix the batter—this can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra richness, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, perfect squares.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a flavor explosion!
