Best Ever Brownies

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 27-32 minutes

Makes: 16 brownies

​

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for Paleo)

• 3 eggs

• ¾ cup melted unsalted butter (or melted coconut oil for dairy free)

• 1¼ cups blanched almond flour

• ⅔ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp instant espresso powder

• ½ cup chocolate chips + extra for topping

• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

• Pinch of sea salt (optional)

​

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 metal pan with parchment paper — ⚠️ metal is critical here, glass or ceramic will not cook these the same way

2. Whisk sugar and eggs vigorously for 2 minutes until light and frothy

3. Add remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and nuts, stir to combine

4. Fold in chocolate chips — batter will be slightly thicker than traditional brownie batter

5. Pour into pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top

6. Bake 27 minutes for fudgy, 32 minutes for chewy — toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter

7. Cool completely before slicing
