What is almond flour?

It has a mild flavor and is ground fine into a powder. It is made from blanched almonds and then ground into a fine powdered texture. Its gluten free naturally along with being paleo friendly and is a healthy ingredient.

Often, I use almond flour in my recipes and the popular ones are savory zucchini muffins, no bake orange protein bars and my favorite vegan apple cake and my recent favorite badam halwa.

Almond flour vs almond meal

They both are made by grinding almonds. The main difference is that almond flour is finer in texture and almond meal is slightly coarser.

Almond flour vs regular flour

Almond flour is lower in carb and high in nutrition. Its sweeter in taste than regular flour and is made from real almonds. Almond flour helps in controlling cholesterol and is also a source of some protein along with being packed with healthy fats.

Almond flour – make sure to use almond flour in this recipe and not almond meal.

Cocoa powder – I like to use unsweetened cocoa powder from Hershey’s for the dark chocolate flavor.

Here, I have melted them and used as garnish as well.

How to make Almond Flour Brownies

Firstly, in a mixing I combined almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

Secondly, I mixed it very well until there were no lumps.

Next, I combined chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl and microwaved at high for 1 minute. Then, I paused it and stirred with a spoon. I microwaved it again for 30 seconds. Then, I stirred it vigorously.

Thereafter, before cooling the melted chocolate, I poured it in the flour mixture along with soaked chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Afterwards, I whipped it well into a thick batter and spooned it out in a prepared brownie pan.

Later, I shaped it with a flat spatula and topped it with more chocolate chips.

Then, I baked it in the middle rack of the preheated oven at 325-degree Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. Once it was done, I, immediately took it out and placed it flat in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Finally, I took it out from the refrigerator and pulled out the parchment paper along with the brownies and placed it on a flat working counter.

Lastly, I sliced it and we all enjoyed.

We personally like it a little warm but these tastes best when at room temperature.

How to store:

Room temperature – once cooled store them in a single layer in a container for about 8 hours at room temperature.

Refrigerator – once completely cooled at room temperature, place them in an air tight container and refrigerate for about 2 weeks.

Freeze – once completely cooled, place them in a Ziploc bag and freeze them for about 3 months.

How to reheat and serve:

This taste great at room temperature. However, if refrigerated then simply microwave for 40 seconds and enjoy. If frozen, you may oven bake at 350-degree Fahrenheit for 5 minutes or simply microwave for 1 minute or until soft and warm. If enjoying it warm then feel free to top it with ice ream of your choice. You may also drizzle chocolate syrup over it or drizzle some more melted chocolate over it. Sometimes, I like drizzle vegan Nutella over it as well.

Expert tips:

• As soon as the chocolate chips are melted it is important to whip it into the flour mixture or else it will harden quickly.
• Most importantly, once baked take it out of the oven and place the hot pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes so as to make these brownies super fudgy.
