Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a food processor or in a large bowl mix together all of your wet ingredients until well combined.

Next, pour in all of your dry ingredients except the chocolate chips. Mix very well until smooth.

Stir in half the amount of chocolate chips you are using, set aside the other half.

Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch pan.

Half way through cooking time sprinkle the rest of the your chocolate chips on top of the brownies.

Bake for 30 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Please remember that all ovens cook differently so check your brownies occasionally because almond flour is prone to burn. As always, cooking time can vary by oven.

Sprinkle with a whisper of sea salt directly after removing from the oven if you enjoy a little saltiness to balance out sweetness.

Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.
