Instructions

9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you’re new to baking with almond flour, make sure to stir the batter gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the brownies dense.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor variations.
• To store, keep the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Pairings

• Enjoy these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
• They also pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee.
