Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated erythritol
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (50g) chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (optional, can replace butter for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides for easy removal.
  2. Chop the pecans roughly and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter (or coconut oil), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until fully incorporated and the batter is thick and fudgy. Add a tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk if too dry.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the top, pressing lightly into the batter.
  8. Bake for 22-25 minutes, starting to check at 20 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice into 9 squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

Toast pecans to enhance crunch and flavor. Use parchment paper for easy removal. Cool brownies completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. Measure almond flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense batter. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudgy texture.
