Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, ½ cup of cocoa powder, ½ cup of coconut sugar, ¼ cup of almond butter, 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Then, pour in ¼ cup of water to help bind the ingredients together. Mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms.
- Gently fold in ½ cup of dark chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the brownie batter. This will help them rise and maintain their shape while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the brownie bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve your Chocolate Fantasy Brownie Bites as a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Make sure your almond butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make the brownie bites tough instead of tender.
- For extra richness, you can add a small drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top after cooling.
- If you're looking to make them extra special, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
- Check your brownie bites a few minutes early - oven temperatures can vary, and you want them moist but not undercooked.
- Allow them to cool completely to let the texture set and flavors develop fully.
