Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams coconut sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams almond flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams walnuts, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
Step 3
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and stir in the coconut sugar until well combined. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Add the chia seeds and flaxseeds, mixing well.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor, if desired.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly fudgy. Insert a toothpick near the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 10
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 8 squares and serve.
Step 11
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
