  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (pure, not pancake syrup)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Tools Youโ€™ll Need

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 8ร—8-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper

Substitutions & Additions

How to Make Almond Flour Brownies

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC). Line an 8ร—8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, glossy batter forms.

Step 4: Fold in Extras

If using chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them in now.

Step 5: Bake

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 22โ€“26 minutes, until edges are set and center is just slightly soft.

Step 6: Cool Completely

Let brownies cool completely in the pan. This step is crucialโ€”they firm up and become perfectly fudgy as they cool.

What to Serve with Almond Flour Brownies

  • Fresh berries
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • A scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream
  • Hot coffee, almond latte, or oat milk

Tips for Making Them Perfect

  • Use finely ground almond flour, not almond meal
  • Donโ€™t overbakeโ€”soft center equals fudgy brownies
  • Cool fully before slicing
  • For extra fudginess, refrigerate for 1 hour before serving

Storage Instructions

  • Room Temperature: Airtight container up to 2 days
  • Refrigerator: Up to 5 days (even fudgier!)
  • Freezer: Freeze sliced brownies up to 2 months
