Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour (48 g)
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour (15 g)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup almond butter (80 g)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (80 ml)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (15 ml)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat oven to 350ºF (175°C). Next, generously coat a baking pan with coconut oil cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, add almond flour, oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Add-in an egg, almond butter, maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil and mix until combined. Fold with chocolate chips by using a wooden spoon or spatula. Don't over mix. Your batter should be fudgy thicker than normal brownie batter.
  • Transfer batter into the baking pan, top with chocolate chips and marshmallows.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, making sure not to over bake!
  • Remove brownies from oven. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Replace maple syrup with any other liquid sweetener of choice (honey, date or coconut syrup)
  • Substitute coconut oil with any alternative cooking oil of your choice.
  • Substitute almond flour with coconut, hazelnut, or cashew flour for a delicious variation in texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix or overwork the batter. Keep in mind that almond flour is essentially ground almonds. Overmixing can lead to the release of natural oils, resembling the process of making almond butter. This can change the texture of the brownies.
