Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 4 oz Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened Greek yogurt (or a plant-based yogurt)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and honey until well-combined and slightly frothy. Add in the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the brownies dense.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. If using, sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the surface.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake for a fudgy texture.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
