Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Additions

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup paleo-friendly dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, espresso powder, or chili flakes (for flavor twist)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together almond flour, raw cacao powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution for a uniform texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, creating a moist binding base.
  4. Blend Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently stir until thick and smooth. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy consistency rather than cakey.
  5. Bake: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges look set but the center remains slightly soft when touched, preserving the fudgy texture.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting. Cooling firms them up and improves their fudgy consistency, making slices neat and satisfying.

Notes

  • Use eggs at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Melt coconut oil gently to preserve flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake; check a few minutes early to keep the fudgy center moist.
  • Choose quality raw cacao powder for richer chocolate flavor.
  • Store brownies airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate.
  • Freeze wrapped brownies for up to 3 months and reheat gently before serving.
