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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, mix coconut sugar with melted coconut oil until well incorporated.
- Add Nutella to the sugar and oil mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Crack in the eggs and add vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three parts, being careful not to overmix.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra fudginess.
- Line an 8×8 inch (or 9×9 inch) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease if desired.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, cut the brownies into squares (about 16).
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- 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.
