Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the eggs to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to form a thick batter.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your healthy brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
