  • Yield: 16 brownies 1x

Description

These fudgy brownies made with almond flour and Nutella are a chocolate lover’s dream. Rich, moist, and easy to make, they offer a delightful treat that can be customized with chocolate chips or nuts. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or any hazelnut spread)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix coconut sugar with melted coconut oil until well incorporated.
  4. Add Nutella to the sugar and oil mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  5. Crack in the eggs and add vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three parts, being careful not to overmix.
  7. If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra fudginess.
  8. Line an 8×8 inch (or 9×9 inch) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease if desired.
  9. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking at the 20-minute mark. The edges should be set, and the center slightly soft.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  12. Carefully lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once cool, cut the brownies into squares (about 16).
  14. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
  15. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
