I've been working on perfecting this brownie recipe for months. It's not easy to get that ideal fudgy texture without using butter or white sugar, but I did it! I am very proud of this recipe and I can't wait for you to try it out. All you need is 7 simple ingredients!

Ingredients for this recipe

  • melted coconut oil
  • coconut sugar
  • vanilla - (I used vanilla powder, but you can sub vanilla extract)
  • eggs
  • almond flour
  • cacao powder
  • dark chocolate chips

How to Make Brownies with Almond Flour

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla and eggs until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the almond flour and cacao powder until well combined.
  3. Lastly, fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Please note that this is a thicker brownie batter.
  4. Press the batter into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-24 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F.
  5. Allow to cool completely before slicing into 9 brownies.

Kitchen Tools to Purchase to Make this Recipe

  • mixing bowls
  • 8×8 baking dish
  • parchment paper
  • airtight containers

Tips for Making these Brownies

  • Make sure the melted coconut oil is not hot or you will cook the eggs.
  • If you are having difficulty spreading the batter into the baking dish, wet a silicone spatula a bit to make your life easier.
  • Do not overcook the brownies. Take them out of the oven when they are slightly undercooked in the middle. It's important to note that they will continue to cook for a little when removed from the oven. An overcooked brownie will be dry and crumbly, rather than fudgy.

How to Store Brownies

  1. Store in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 1-2 days.
  2. To freeze, wrap each individual brownie in plastic wrap. Place the brownies into a freezer bag. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Another tasty Frozen Bananas recipe! I cut the sugar to around 1/3 cup and still loved them! The batter is SO tasty!! My only complaint was there was a lot of oil left on top when they came out of the oven but I’m guessing that was user error and I did too much.
    Overall, Give these a try they are yummy!

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and rating, Erin! I appreciate you. I always recommend sticking to the recipe for best results. I assume this happened because there wasn't enough sugar to oil ratio. If you cut down the sugar, I recommend cutting down on the oil also. I noticed that brownies are the one dessert that is very hard to cut down on the sugar because it really contributes to the texture. I'm glad you still enjoyed though! 🙂

    Can I use oat flour instead of almond and brown sugar instead of cane sugar?
