Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted, cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (70%+ cacao)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a little virgin coconut oil and line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup melted, cooled virgin coconut oil, 2/3 cup coconut sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold in most of the 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (70%+ cacao), reserving a few for the top.

  5. 5

    Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and scatter the reserved dairy-free dark chocolate chips (70%+ cacao) over the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20-22 minutes until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly underdone - it will firm up as it cools.

  7. 7

    Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into 9 squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Questions

Can I make Paleo Almond Flour Brownies ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Paleo Almond Flour Brownies?

Yes. As written it serves 9. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
