Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Whisk together thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth and thick.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. The brownies are done when 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, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother batter
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies
- Check brownies early - gluten-free baked goods can dry out quickly
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor
- Let brownies cool completely for the best texture and easier cutting
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture
- For extra indulgence, consider adding dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts
- If the edges seem to cook faster, cover them with aluminum foil during baking
