These Gluten-Free Almond Flour Brownies are a delicious alternative for those avoiding gluten without compromising on taste or texture. Made with almond flour, these brownies have a rich, nutty flavor and a moist, fudgy consistency that will satisfy any chocolate craving.
By using almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour, these brownies provide a protein boost and a unique depth of flavor, making them perfect for both gluten-sensitive individuals and chocolate lovers alike.
Baking these brownies is straightforward and can be done in just a few simple steps. This recipe requires minimal ingredients, and you can easily customize it by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or even a swirl of peanut butter for an extra treat.
Whether you’re enjoying them as an afternoon snack, a dessert at dinner, or a sweet treat for a gathering, these brownies are sure to be a hit.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. This will help to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will form the base of your brownies.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the brownies.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.
Extra Tips:
For an even richer flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients; it enhances the chocolate taste beautifully. If you prefer a sweeter brownie, you can adjust the amount of coconut sugar to suit your taste.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Enjoy your gluten-free indulgence!
