Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture is fully incorporated and forms a smooth, thick batter.
- Fold in most of the white chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping. Mix gently to distribute the chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining white chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper overhang, lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 even squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to maintain their fudgy texture.
- For extra richness, you can add a tablespoon of almond butter to the wet ingredients.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
