Cook Time

Servings
9-12 brownies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Paleo-Friendly Chocolate (optional)

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients

Add the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Do not overmix.

Incorporate Chocolate (Optional)

If using, gently fold in the chopped Paleo-friendly chocolate.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, or the brownies will be dry.

Cool and Slice

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve.

FAQ

  • Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?

    While you can experiment with other Paleo-friendly flours like cassava flour, keep in mind that the texture may change. Almond flour provides a moist and fudgy texture, so other flours might result in a drier brownie.
  • Can I use honey or maple syrup instead of coconut sugar?

    Yes, you can use honey or maple syrup as a substitute. Start with 1/4 cup and adjust to taste. Keep in mind that this might affect the texture slightly, making the brownies a bit more moist.
  • How do I store these brownies?

    Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Wrap them individually or in a freezer-safe container.
