Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour provides moist texture
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder adds rich chocolate flavor
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar offers sweetness and moisture
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder adds lightness

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted helps with richness and binding
  • 3 large eggs provides structure and moisture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances flavor

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional, for added richness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir them together with a spatula until just combined.
  • If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
  • Grease your baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper and spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared dish.

Baking

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Cooling and Cutting

  • Once out of the oven, allow the brownies to cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes.
  • After cooling, gently remove the brownies from the dish and place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and accurate measurements. Store brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
