Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.33 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.33 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.33 cup Dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

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 small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flax egg, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 10

Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, slice into 12 squares, and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
