Cook Time
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease an 8" x 8" baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, salt and cocoa powder.
- Put chocolate and coconut oil in a large microwaveable bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until chocolate is smooth.
- Add coconut sugar to melted chocolate. Whisk until completely combined.
- Add eggs to the chocolate mix and whisk until completely mixed. Add vanilla and stir. * Do not over beat the batter at this stage or the brownies will have a cake-like consistency.*
- Sprinkle the flower mix over the chocolate mix, and using a rubber spatula, gently fold the flower mix into the chocolate until just a little bit of the flour is still visible.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 28-32 minutes. The edges of the brownie will start to pull away from the pan, and when you stick a toothpick into the center, moist crumbs will stick to the toothpick. * DO NOT over bake.*
- Cool the brownies completely and cut into equal squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week. Freeze for up to three months.
- For a super rich brownie, use 72% chocolate bars.
- For a slightly sweeter brownie, use 60% chocolate.
