Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sweetener of choice (white, brown, sugar free, etc.)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside to be ready for your batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until evenly combined to ensure consistent texture throughout the brownies.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together the softened butter, chosen sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir carefully until fully incorporated to create a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now to distribute them evenly.
- Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out just clean.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into 12 pieces to maintain their fudgy texture.
Notes
- These almond flour brownies are fudgy, gooey, and made in one bowl, which keeps cleanup easy.
- Use the sweetener of your choice, including sugar-free options, to customize sweetness and carbs.
- For best texture, do not overbake; a skewer should come out just clean but still moist.
- The recipe yields 12 brownies with approximately 3 grams net carbs each, making it a low-carb, keto-friendly treat.
- If desired, you can omit the chocolate chips or replace them with nuts for variation.
