Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy.
