Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (Paleo-compliant)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil until liquid (if it's solid at room temperature). Let it cool slightly before proceeding.
Step 4
In a separate large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract, then whisk again until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts and Paleo-compliant dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly into the corners using a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 9
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, cut into 9 equal squares, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
