These paleo vegan brownies are super chocolaty and gooey. If you chill them, they become fudge-like!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (225 grams) almond flour
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (129 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder sifted if lumpy
  • 3/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder see notes
  • 9 tablespoons (126 grams) coconut oil I recommend refined for no coconut taste
  • 1 3/4 cups (350 grams) coconut sugar very tightly packed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 3 chia eggs
  • 1 cup (170 grams) paleo/vegan semi-sweet chopped chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup mini paleo/vegan chocolate chips for the top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line an 8"×8" (20cmx20cm) pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
    2 1/4 cups (225 grams) almond flour, 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (129 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder, 3/8 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Once combined, add the chia eggs and stir until combined. It may look like the oil separates, but just keep stirring and it'll combine.
    9 tablespoons (126 grams) coconut oil, 1 3/4 cups (350 grams) coconut sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract, 3 chia eggs
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir just until almost no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix! Fold in 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chunks.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top.

  • Bake for 24 minutes. When you remove it from the oven and tilt the pan, it may appear to move a little but shouldn't look super jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out wet. A toothpick inserted into the sides will come out with some moist crumbs on it, but not totally raw batter. The brownies will continue to bake as they sit in the pan and will firm up as they cool. They're very gooey.
  • Let cool completely and cut into squares. Cover and store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for 5 days. Keep them chilled if you want them fudgy rather than gooey.

Notes

  • To make paleo baking powder, you need 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  • I used 3 chia eggs for this recipe. So you mix 3 tablespoons ground chia seeds (18 grams, it's best to weigh this!) with 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon of water until gloopy like an egg.
