Hello and welcome to Leelalicious! My name is Regina
and today I'm going to show you how to make almond flour brownies. These
delicious fudgy, chewy brownies are gluten free,
paleo friendly and there's even an option to make them keto/
low carb. Because I like nuts in my brownies,
I start by toasting some pecans while the oven
is preheating. The nuts only take about 5 to 10 minutes.
You know they're done when they smell rich and delicious.
To make the brownie batter, start by adding half a cup of melted coconut oil
to a large mixing bowl. To that add one and a quarter cup of
granulated sweetener. You can use coconut sugar, brown sugar,
Muscovado, or sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
Stir the oil and sugar together until combined.
Then crack three eggs into the bowl and add two teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Stir all of these wet ingredients together until combined.
Now add one cup of almond flour and half a cup of
cocoa powder. Careful! Don't drop the bowl like i just did 😅
Also add half a teaspoon of sea salt and optionally, one tablespoon of instant
coffee. I love this combination of chocolate and
coffee, but this is totally optional. Mix the wet and
dry ingredients until a uniform batter forms and you have no more dry pockets
of flour. I also like chocolate chips my brownies.
So I'm adding half a cup right now, but this is optional as well. Now pour
the batter into an 8-inch baking dish lined with
parchment paper at the bottom.
Add the optional toasted pecans on top. Now bake the brownies in an oven
preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes. You know the
brownies are done when the tops are set and no longer jiggly. Let the
brownies cool to room temperature first and then transfer them to the fridge for
one to two hours. Refrigerating the brownies makes sure
they are really set up and fudgy. And you also get clean edges when you're slicing.
The brownies keep for about one week
refrigerated. Although there's no guarantees there will be any left that long.
Thank you so much for watching and baking along!
