Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Whisk together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in maple syrup until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Fold in half of the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving the remaining chips for topping.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper edges, lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares. For best texture, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Tips
- • For the most luxurious texture, ensure your coconut oil is completely melted but not hot when mixing with other ingredients. • Use high-quality cocoa powder and almond flour for the best flavor profile. • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to dense, tough brownies. • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to help them set properly. • For extra decadence, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor. • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. • If you prefer a gooier texture, slightly underbake by 2-3 minutes.
