Cooking Equipment Needed:

  • Oven 8×8 inch baking pan Mixing bowls Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler Whisk Spatula

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup almond flour
    Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), or chocolate chips for extra gooeyness

Cooking Time:

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Total Time: 30-35 minutes

Cooking Steps:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350～F (175～C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the brownies.

Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the ingredients together using a double boiler on the stove.

Mix Wet Ingredients: To the melted chocolate mixture, whisk in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in salt and almond flour, mixing until just incorporated. If using, fold in additional chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. If you can wait, let them cool completely before cutting into squares. This waiting time helps the brownies set and enhances their fudgy texture.

Enjoy: Cut into desired sizes and enjoy these rich, fudgy almond flour brownies. They can be served as is, or dressed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra special dessert.
