⅓cup(50g)nuts of choicechopped & toasted (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 355°F/180°C. Line a baking pan (6 x 9 inches | 15 x 23cm) with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over a water bath or in the microwave. Stir in eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
Fold in almond flour and nuts - don’t overmix. → Optional: I love to toast the nuts slightly in a skillet over medium heat, which gives them a more intense flavor!
Pour it into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes (depending on how fudgy you like your brownies). Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and let it cool completely in the baking dish.
Cut into 12 brownies! Feel free to drizzle with melted chocolate and coarse sea salt!
Notes
Make your own almond flour with this easy DIY Almond Flour Recipe!Sugar: Those brownies are made with less sugar than regular brownies, thus they are less sweet. Feel free to use up to ⅔ - 1 cup (105-140g) coconut sugar!Coconut Sugar Substitution: Use ⅓ cup (65g) brown sugar and ⅓ cup (65g) white sugar for regular sweet brownies. → White and brown sugar doesn't count towards paleo!Coconut Oil Substitution: Use ¼ cup regular or dairy-free butter. Prefer crinkle top brownies? Whip the eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer until fluffy before folding in the melted chocolate and coconut oil.Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
