Ingredients
1.5 cups super-fine blanched almond flour
0.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.75 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
0.5 cup butter, melted and cooled
0.75 cup white granulated sugar
0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
0.5 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
Whisk the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl until no lumps remain.
Combine the melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate large bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients until they reach a smooth and consistent texture.
Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet base by whisking gently.
Fold in the chocolate chips carefully using a silicone spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake the brownies for 35 to 42 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Notes
Ensure your almond flour is superfine for the best texture. Blooming the cocoa in the melted butter is key to the deep flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
