Instructions

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 11 ounces dark chocolate (chocolate chips, wafers or chopped)
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 5 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. line 9x13 pan with a bit of coconut oil & parchment paper (the oil helps the parchment paper stay in place).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, & cocoa powder together.
  3. Put chocolate, oil & instant espresso powder in a large heatproof bowl; set it over a pot of simmering water. (keep bowl from touching water) Stir occasionally until chocolate & oil are completely melted.
  4. Tum off heat, whisk in sugars to chocolate until combined; remove bowl from water. Cool completely.
  5. Whisk in 3 eggs to the chocolate mixture until combined. Add remaining eggs & vanilla until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
  6. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time.
  8. Let cool completely at room temperature, lifting out using parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
  9. Chef Notes: add 1 cup of chocolate chips, or walnuts. Baking time is an estimate it may take longer or shorter depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it while baking.
