Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.333 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.333 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.333 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce until fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined and avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
