How to Make Almond Flour Brownies

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8-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 22–26 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 crucial—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
• Don’t overbake—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
