Perfectly rich and chocolatey almond flour brownies! Super easy to make with just one bowl and 8 ingredients. These brownies are my all-time favorite grain-free, dairy-free, and healthy dessert recipe!
What You’ll Need to Make Almond Flour Brownies
Almond Flour – Duh! Almond flour is the star of this show. I highly recommend blanched super-fine almond flour for these gluten-free brownies. I use and love this Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour in all of my almond flour recipes!
Sugar – I used coconut sugar in my almond flour brownies to make them refined sugar-free. Coconut sugar is just as sweet and tasty as regular sugar, but less processed! However, you can totally use whatever kind of sugar you have on-hand.
Chocolate Chips – Plenty of chocolate chips for these double chocolate brownies! You’ll melt one cup and beat them into the batter, then add 1/2 cup of whole chocolate chips in at the very end. The result is ultra rich and chocolatey brownies, YUM!
Tips and Tricks
- Beat the eggs and sugar together until super light and fluffy. This is what gives us that crisp, crackly brownie top!
- Serve these almond flour brownies warm with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream! I just LOVE turning this dessert into brownie sundaes, such a delicious and decadent treat.
- Go ahead, add a handful of chopped walnuts to these brownies if you’d like! I personally don’t see anything wrong with walnuts in brownies, so have fun and make these your own.
Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs
Make it Vegan: Simply swap the eggs for your favorite vegan egg substitute. I haven’t tested this option myself just yet, so if you do let me know how it works in the comments!
Make it Paleo: For paleo brownies, use coconut sugar in this recipe, and use either paleo chocolate chips or a chopped paleo chocolate bar. I recommend Hu Kitchen Chocolate Baking Gems!

Almond Flour Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar, I used coconut sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup olive oil, avocado oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs with either a hand or stand mixer. Continue beating for 3-5 minutes, until super light and fluffy.
- Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is just combined, careful not to over-mix.
- In a separate small bowl, add the olive oil and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate chips are fully melted.
- Pour melted chocolate chips and olive oil into the brownie batter, and stir to combine. Then, fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
- Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just barely set. Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing into squares.

These are seriously the best brownies I have ever had! They are honestly better than any boxed brownie mix I have ever tried! I love how quick and easy they are to make and they are secretly healthier as well!

Tasty for sure. Next time I will use less oil just a bit more greasy than I like and I used avocado oil. Definitely easy to whip up when your in the mood to make homemade brownies
Fabulous brownies – moist and better than standard brownies while being healthier. I reduced the coconut sugar to 2/3 cup and they were still absolutely delicious.
Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you so much, Eleni! I’m so glad you loved these brownies as much as I do! 🙂

I understand the chocolate chips are probably optional (seems like a big part of the recipe though) so that kind of makes them NOT non-dairy…
I have yet to make them but I’m sure they’re going to be great, I just wanted to add this because it’s misleading.
The chocolate chips are actually not optional, and there are plenty of non-dairy chocolate chip options out there! I love the Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips, but Trader Joe’s and Thrive Market both carry great dairy-free chocolate chips as well. 🙂
