📖 What Do You Need?
Simple ingredients for the easiest recipe! Look at this texture, you would not believe it's gluten-free. Only 3 steps to this moist and chocolaty dessert:
1 - Melt the butter and chocolate together. You can either use the microwave and if so I would recommend doing 20 seconds at a time and stirring each time. If you are using a pot, I would suggest making a water bath (use 2 pots of different sizes, put the butter and chocolate in the smaller one. Pour about an inch of water in the bigger one, place on the stove, and put the smaller pan in the bigger one). it will allow melting without burning.
2 - Whisk the sugar and the eggs. And whisk it like to mean it, until your arms hurt! I'm kidding, sort of. This is an important step if you don't want your brownies to be flat and cakey. Add some air.
3. Combine. Add the melted chocolate/butter to the egg/sugar mix.
4. Lastly, add the dry ingredients: your almond flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Don't forget the walnuts, they bring an amazing crunch to it.
Bake in the oven and prepare yourself mentally to not eat it all in one sitting, this is the almond flour brownie of your dreams coming together!
What Kind Of Chocolate Should I Use To Make Brownies?
I used the one I had in my pantry, it is semi-sweet milk chocolate. I find it more kid-friendly when using milk chocolate but dark chocolate is also a definite go for me for this kind of recipe!
Unsweetened or semi-sweet should be your choice as the recipe is also calling for sugar and I love to decorate with icing sugar. It adds up, right?
What Is Almond Flour? Where Do I Get It?
Almond flour is the same as an almond meal or almond ground. There are blanched (or unblanched) almonds made into a powder. That is all there is to it.
It is a perfect option to make gluten-free desserts. Try my Flourless Almond Cake, an easy and quick recipe! It's been quite the rage since I published it. #soproud
You can find almond flour in the baking aisle of your store. I get mine at Costco. I get because I use it so much. Buying in bulk at Bulk Barn (for Canada) is also a great option.

- In a pan 9'' x 6'', grease if necessary, pour your brownie batter and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

I saw you recently made these. How much sugar did you use? (I can't find the amount in the recipe.) Thanks! My crew loves brownies and we have an abundance of almond flour right now!
Mélanie says
Hi Samantha, thank you for catching it, I fixed my recipe card! Happy baking! Send me a pic :)
Jocelyn says
I’m a little confused by the recipe. How much chocolate is needed? Or is it just chocolate milk? The first instruction says to melt chocolate and butter together.
Mélanie says
1/2 of milk chocolate or dark if you prefer. This is the chocolate you will melt with the butter.
Happy baking!
