Almond Flour Brownies

Rich and fudgy almond flour brownies that mix up quickly in one bowl and are completely gluten-free!

Hello, gluten-free brownies! Where have you been all my life??

Following a gluten-free diet doesn’t mean that you need to give up your beloved brownies because it turns out that almond flour plays a MEAN brownie game.

I’m not even gluten-free and these brownies have quickly moved their way up to my top 3 favorite brownie recipes (trust me, that’s an honor, I have a TON of favorites around here)

I mean, the brownie batter itself is VERY dangerous. In fact, you might just wanna eat the batter and forget about the actual brownies. Like, woww….

These Brownies feature…

• A moist and fudgy texture
• Rich chocolate flavor with just a touch of almond and coconut in the background
• Ready in minutes with a quick batter that mixes up in one bowl

Making the Brownies

(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)

Ingredients You Will Need

• Coconut oil
• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Almond flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder
• Kosher salt
• Semisweet chocolate chips

Almond Flour Recommendation

I recommend using blanched almond flour for these cupcakes. I almost always use Bob’s Red Mill when I’m baking gluten-free goodies and they always yield great results.

Tips for Perfect Gluten Free Brownies

1. Gently fold batter – overmixing will lead to dry and tough brownies so use a gentle hand when folding batter.
2. Don’t overbake brownies – bake brownies until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs sticking to it.
3. Allow brownies to cool and clean knife between slices– this will make for neat cuts.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these brownies.

• Add more chocolate – fold 1/2 cup semisweet, dark, milk, or white chocolate into the batter.
• Swirl in peanut butter – add a few swirls of creamy peanut butter to the batter before baking.
• Make them nutty – fold 1/2 cup toasted pecans or walnuts into the batter.
• Add salted caramel – drizzle brownies with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

Storing Brownies

Allow brownies to cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days.

To freeze brownies, allow to cool completely at room temperature, wrap well, and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw brownies completely on countertop before serving.

One bite of these fudgy brownies is all it’s gonna take for you to be a believer! Gluten-free definitely doesn’t mean you need to be lacking the dessert department.
