Fudgy Coconut Flour Brownies (Printable Version)

Rich, fudgy brownies made with coconut flour that are gluten-free, keto-friendly and ready in just 25 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - ¼ cup almond butter or sunflower seed butter, room temperature
02 - 2 tablespoons coconut oil
03 - ⅓ cup granular sweetener (monkfruit, stevia or sugar)
04 - ¼ cup cocoa powder
05 - 1 egg, room temperature
06 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - ¼ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ cup coconut flour, sifted

→ Topping

09 - 1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease the bottom of an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
02 - Melt the almond butter and coconut oil together in a microwaveable mixing bowl for 30-60 seconds on high, or in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Allow to cool slightly to prevent the egg from cooking in the batter.
03 - Mix the cocoa powder and sweetener into the melted butter mixture until well combined.
04 - Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth.
05 - Fold in the sifted coconut flour until well incorporated. Press the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. For fudgy brownies, the inside should remain slightly moist.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Don't overbake the brownies for the fudgiest, most delicious texture.
02 - Use room temperature egg and nut butter for a smooth batter and even cooking.
03 - Sift coconut flour to prevent clumps and ensure even mixing.
04 - Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
05 - When using alternative sweeteners, start with less and adjust to taste as needed.
