Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate (85% or higher, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
