Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then add the vanilla extract and honey (or maple syrup) and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine well.
Step 6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 10
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
