Ingredients You’ll Need

• Almond Flour – Great gluten-free alternative; it adds a nutty flavor!
• Coconut Flour – Helps absorb moisture and gives a subtle sweetness.
• Cocoa Powder – The star of the show! Choose unsweetened for the richest taste.
• Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips or Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa) – For that perfect chocolatey goodness.
• Eggs (Room Temperature) – They’ll help bind everything beautifully.
• Butter, Coconut Oil, or Plant-Based Butter – Adds that rich, creamy texture.
• Pure Vanilla Extract – A touch of warmth that makes everything better.
• Almond Milk (if using) – Adds moisture; feel free to skip if you prefer.
• Sweetener (Optional: Monk Fruit Sweetener or Honey) – Adjust based on your taste for that extra sweetness.

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F for an 8×8 inch pan or 325°F for a 9×13 inch pan. Feel that heat building? It’s the excitement of what’s to come!

2. Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Just wait until those brownies are done—they’ll slide right out like a dream!

3. Melt your chocolate and butter slowly. You can either use a double boiler or pop it in the microwave. Just keep an eye on it; we want it smooth and glossy. Let it chill a bit before mixing; we want everything to meld together beautifully.

4. Whisk together your wet ingredients: the eggs, melted chocolate and butter, vanilla extract, and any liquid sweeteners or milk. You’ll love how silky it looks after some gentle mixing.

5. Sift the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, and cocoa powder into a bowl to prevent any pesky lumps. Trust me, sifting makes all the difference in texture!

6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix. Feel the love as you bring it all together! Don’t overdo it; we’re looking for a tender brownie.

7. Spread the rich batter evenly in your prepared pan. The aroma will start to fill the kitchen, and you’ll know you’re on the right path.

8. Bake: For an 8×8 inch pan, let it bake for 25-30 minutes; for a 9×13 inch pan, aim for 35-40 minutes. As the timer ticks down, you’ll smell those heavenly brownies doing their thing.

9. Use the toothpick test for doneness! It should come out mostly clean but with a few moist crumbs.

10. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. I know, waiting is hard, but a little patience will reward you with perfect slices.

11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze individual pieces for those late-night cravings.

Kitchen Tips

• One time-saving trick: Melt the chocolate and butter the night before and chill it—then it’s all just a quick mix away!
• Common mistake fix: If your brownies seem too dry, add a splash more almond milk next time for extra moisture.
• Creative twist: Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or sea salt on top before baking for added flavor and texture.

Serving Ideas

These Fudgy Brownies are perfect for any occasion—picture a family dinner or a cozy night in binge-watching your favorite series. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to take it to the next level. Feeling fancy? A sprinkle of sea salt or drizzled caramel will elevate this delightful treat even more. They also make for a wonderful gift — who wouldn’t love receiving a batch of homemade brownies?

Storing & Leftovers

• How to store: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week! They also freeze beautifully; just wrap individual squares in foil and pop them into a ziplock.
• Reheating: If you want to savor that fresh-baked texture, pop them in a warm oven for just a few minutes—so heavenly!
• Fun leftover idea: Crumble these fudgy treats over a bowl of yogurt or incorporate them into a fun parfait with fresh berries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
