Fudgy Almond Flour Brownies
Ready to feast your eyes on the deliciousness? Here’s the masterpiece before you dive into the ingredients!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this chocolaty delight:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, but why would you skip this?)
Instructions
Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty and make these brownies happen!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish. Because we don’t want any of those brownies sticking around.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk! It’s like a dance party for dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure it’s smoothie smooth!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Don’t overdo it; we’re not making dough here!
- If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in those chocolate chips. Yes, please!
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Don’t forget to lick the bowl when no one is watching.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or with a few fudgy crumbs!). Your house is about to smell like heaven!
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing. Try to resist the urge to eat them all in one go, but no promises!
And there you have it! A tray full of fudgy almond flour brownies that scream, “Eat me!” Just make sure you share or you might find yourself having a serious brownie binge. Happy baking!
