Ingredients
- 2 room temperature eggs or 2 flax eggs (see notes)
- 3/4 cup (4 ounces) dark chocolate baking bar or chocolate chips, melted
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup (150 to 160g) smooth creamy almond butter
- 1/2 cup fine raw sugar or sugar substitute (see notes)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (70 grams) gluten free 1:1 baking flour
- 4 Tablespoon Dutch cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Optional Topping – sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted dark chocolate, almond butter, sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared 8×8 baking dish and spread the batter evenly. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Bake at 350F for 22 to 26 minutes (see notes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean and edges are set. Do not overbake.
- Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
Substitute – To make the flax eggs, mix 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed with 5 Tablespoons water. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken into a gel-like texture before adding to the batter. The brownies will take longer to bake (30 to 35 minutes) when using flax eggs.
Baking Tip – For a typical shiny-crinkle brownie top, use a superfine caster sugar/bakers sugar or process regular or raw sugar down to a finer texture in a blender or food processor. If using a thicker almond butter add more non-dairy milk (½ cup instead of ⅓ cup).
Storage Tips – Store brownies in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
