Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan once they are baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter and 1 cup of brown sugar. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix them together until smooth and well combined.
- Add 3 large eggs to the mixture, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, giving the brownies a lighter texture.
- Next, sift in 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold these ingredients into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Finally, fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for a rich, chocolatey flavor in every bite.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Make sure the surface is smooth and level.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- After the brownies have cooled, cut them into 16 squares. Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free flourless brownies as a treat or dessert!
Tips
- Quality Ingredients Matter: For the best flavor, use high-quality almond butter and cocoa powder. They will significantly enhance the richness of your brownies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to denser brownies, which we want to avoid for that perfect fudgy texture.
- Check for Doneness: Since oven temperatures can vary, keep an eye on your brownies as they bake. They’re done when the edges are set, but the center should still be a bit soft; it will continue to cook as it cools.
- Cool Completely: Allowing the brownies to cool completely before cutting will help them hold their shape better and enhance the texture.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your brownies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter for an extra flavor twist!
