Equipment

  • 8-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 3 tbsp water or additional oil
  • 2 eggs (or 2 flax eggs)
  • 2/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 °F and position a rack in the center. Grease an 8-inch pan or line it with parchment, leaving enough overhang to lift the cooled slab.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until no dry pockets remain. The finished batter should be thick, dark, and glossy rather than airy.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and press it into an even layer with a spatula. If it sticks, lay a second sheet of parchment over the surface and gently smooth it flat.
  • Bake for 20 minutes on the center rack. The edges should look matte and firm while the center keeps a subtle, even wobble and smells deeply of toasted cocoa.
  • Leave the brownies in the pan until completely cool before lifting or cutting. They continue to firm as the almond flour and melted fat settle into a dense crumb.

Notes

Ingredient handling: Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing with melted butter or oil to prevent the fat from seizing or separating.
Spreading tip: Since the batter is naturally thick, place a sheet of parchment paper over the top to press and smooth it evenly into the pan.
Slicing tip: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then chill before cutting with a clean knife to prevent crumbling and yield neat squares.
