Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour or coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 70% cocoa or higher
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener or stevia
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Melt Chocolate: In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in the cooled chocolate mixture, making sure the eggs don't scramble.
  • Combine: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the brownies dense.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan before removing and cutting them into squares. Enjoy your healthier, low sugar treat!

Notes

You can swap almond flour for coconut flour, but note that coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients.
For a vegan option, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% or higher) to reduce sugar and enhance flavor.
