Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 third Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water (for flax egg)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 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, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Sift in the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently with a spatula until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in the flax egg until the batter is thick and well-mixed. If using, add chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.
Step 6
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
Step 8
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 9
Slice into 9 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
