Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Paleo-approved protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (Paleo-friendly)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure no clumps remain.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean and the edges start to pull away from the pan.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 16 squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
