Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Stir well to incorporate.
- In a separate bowl, melt your butter or coconut oil until just warm.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter. Mix until smooth.
- If using, fold in the chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture. Allowing the brownies to cool before cutting enhances texture.
