Ingredients
1/4 cup natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp. ground flax + 6 tbsp. water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
1/2 cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line square baking sheet with parchment paper. Make flax egg and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and coconut oil. Whisk until it resembles caramel.
- Add cocoa powder in ¼ cup increments, whisking until well mixed and thick like frosting. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Whisk in vanilla, salt and flax eggs, until well incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold in almond flour until you get the consistency of soft dough or very thick batter, and no flour patches remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan. Using the rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer.
- Bake for 28-36 mins. Mine took about 30 minutes. Cool for 1-2 hours, or until completely cool.* Slice into 16 brownies. Enjoy!
