Double Chocolate Pecan Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• ⅓ cup raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 3 eggs
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
• ½ cup pecans, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla.

4. 4

   Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.

5. 5

   Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 22–25 minutes until set in the centre and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. 7

   Cool completely before cutting — this is key for clean slices and a fudgy texture.
