Almond Flour Brownies
I had a bag of almond flour leftover from some experimental cake baking, and being the brownie fanatic that I am, I decided to make some almond flour brownies.
These brownies are thick, fudgy, and have a little extra texture from the almond flour. They're perfect for anyone who likes a sweet almond flavor, and suitable for those on a gluten free diet if you use all gluten free ingredients.
I'm contributing this recipe to this week's Sunday Supper event for "Food that Travels," hosted by Life Tastes Good, as this would be a great dessert to bring with you to a party. It keeps well and travels easily in its own pan! Be sure to check out all the other traveling food recipe links at the bottom of this post.
As you can see from the photo, I enjoyed them with a nice tall glass of milk- but then, I'm old-fashioned that way. I wonder what they'd be like with a glass of almond milk?

Fudgy Almond Flour Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 ½ sticks) melted
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup almond flour
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare an 8 inch square pan by lining it with parchment or foil.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the flour and the cocoa until well combined, then set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla, and whisk together. Mixture will be grainy but uniform. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
-
Set aside the whisk and add the flour/cocoa mixture to the large bowl. Stir with a large spoon or spatula until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs but no liquid batter attached. Set the pan on a rack to cool for 15 minutes, then use the pan liner to lift the brownies out. Set the brownies on a rack to finish cooling.

I have yet to bake with almond flour. I need to try it and some of the other nut flowers too.
Personally, I want to try hazelnut flour next.
Hazelnut flour brownies are to die for, especially if you have a dark chocolate glaze. These look like they'd be great smeared with almond butter 🙂
I mainly use almond flour in place of bread crumbs in savory recipes, but one look at these beauties, and I know I need to branch out! Thanks for sharing!!
Give it a try with sweet stuff- it's really good!
These look wonderful! I need to use almond flour more often and I haven't had a brownie in forever. YUM!
Almond flour can be really fun to experiment with. Even better when the experiment is a success like these!
I made a cake with almond flour once, and it turned out right, but I still loved the result in brownies much better. I do enjoy experimenting!
These gluten free brownies look terrific! I think this is the only way my hubby will ever eat almonds 🙂
If anything will work, these will! 🙂
I've been experimenting with other flours and really like almond flour. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will try it soon
Let me know how it goes for you! Try a natural cocoa- they have the most robust flavor.
Very few ingredients and such big fudgy looking brownies, YUM!
I love using nut flours in my baking and I also use it in some of my vegetarian cooking! Your brownies look nice and fudgy and I am betting they would taste great with Almond Milk!
This was my first time using a nut flour. Now I'm very intrigued by Alice Medrich's "Flavor Flours" cookbook!
Love brownies as a portable dessert! I haven't worked with almond flour in baking yet either. I need to try it!
I do like cooking, especially baking, with almond flour, it gives such a lovely flavor to things. These brownies look great!
Ahhh so fudgy. I have never baked with almond flour, looks like I need to start experimenting...starting with these brownies!
I have never used almond flour but these brownies sure sound delicious.
I love the taste almonds bring to the party in your mouth with these brownies!
I've been experimenting with almond flour too. So far I've loved it in everything I've tried it with.
These turned out great - cooked them about ten extra minutes. Pretty sure I'm making these for Thanksgiving.
Recipe talks about adding the salt. Any guesses as to how much?
Oops! Can't believe I left the salt out of the recipe. It's 1/4 teaspoon, which I have added to the recipe above. Sorry about that! 🙂
Thank you for the update, Katie. And the brownies were incredibly fudgy and delicious!
