Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (150g) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
- ½ cup (90g) dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan lightly with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Stir in melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and espresso powder if using.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick and fudgy.
- Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into squares using a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender. Check doneness with a toothpick at 25 minutes to prevent dryness. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use vegan chocolate chips. Substitutions like oat flour or maple syrup may alter texture and sweetness.
