Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sweetener of choice (white, brown, sugar free, etc.)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder to ensure they are well combined and aerated.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk the softened butter, sweetener, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter fudgy.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter evenly.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out just clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 servings.
