Calories: 246kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line 8x8-inch baking dish with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
- In another large bowl, add eggs, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Fold in dry ingredients. Then fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter into prepared baking dish, level with spatula and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Lift by the parchment paper flaps, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 9 squares.
Notes
- Store: In a cool dry place for a few days.
- Freeze: I like to freeze the brownies on a baking tray (not touching) until solid and then transfer them to a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
