How to Make Almond Flour Brownies
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC). Line an 8ร8-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 22โ26 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 crucialโthey firm up and become perfectly fudgy as they cool.
What to Serve with Almond Flour Brownies
- Fresh berries
- Coconut whipped cream

- Refrigerator: Up to 5 days (even fudgier!)
