What You’ll Need for Gluten-Free Almond Flour Brownies

• 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) butter, melted (unsalted recommended)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute with coconut oil)
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (6 ¼ oz/177 g) dark brown sugar (light brown sugar works too)
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ¼ oz/227 g) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup (4 oz/115 g) Almond Flour Baking Mix (ensure it’s gluten-free)
• 1 cup (4 oz/115 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups (9 oz/255 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or use chocolate chips for convenience)

How to Make Gluten-Free Almond Flour Brownies

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk for about 1 minute until the mixture is evenly combined and light in color.
4. Gently add the Almond Flour Baking Mix, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) of the chopped chocolate into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (3 oz/85 g) of chopped chocolate on top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the brownies no longer jiggles and is just set to the touch.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature in the pan. Once cooled, slice into 16 brownies and enjoy!

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store your gluten-free almond flour brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop a brownie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5 minutes for that fresh-from-the-oven feel.

Serving Suggestions

These brownies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a decadent touch, drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce. Pair with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for the ultimate treat!

Recipe Variations

Feel free to customize these brownies to suit your taste! Swap the bittersweet chocolate for dark, milk, or white chocolate. Add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. For a fruity twist, fold in ½ cup of dried cherries or raspberries before baking.

Equipment Guidance

For best results, use a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking tray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal. A sturdy whisk or spatula will help combine the ingredients evenly. If you don’t have almond flour baking mix, you can make your own by blending almond flour with a bit of baking powder and salt.

Common Questions

Can I use coconut oil instead of butter? Yes, but it may slightly alter the flavor. What if I don’t have almond flour baking mix? You can substitute with regular almond flour and add ½ teaspoon of baking powder. How do I know when the brownies are done? The center should no longer jiggle and feel just set to the touch.
