Almond Flour Chocolate Brownies
Because life is usually very sweet, I thought I’d post one of our all-time favorite Almond Flour Chocolate Brownies recipe, that we enjoy in our home.
In fact, they are so good, I usually keep a batch in the freezer. You can freeze these up to 3 months!
Why in the freezer? When we’re trying to hold back on our sweets and have a little discipline in our lives?
Several times in the past month, we’ve hosted dinners here where I’ve asked a guest to bring dessert.
Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies
There’s always someone in the group now who seems to be gluten-free, and these brownies are just that!
(That’s Alder, our Whoodle, with his nose in everything!)
How to freeze brownies
Made with almond flour (I buy Blue Diamond Almond Flour at Costco), I keep brownie squares individually wrapped, so they’re easy to pull from the freezer and quickly microwave. Almond flour is easy to find in most stores now, and sometimes we buy it at Trader Joe’s, too.
No need to worry about gluten-free when I’m already prepared, right?
But … even if you’re not gluten-free, the flavor is so divine!
How to freeze brownies: To freeze brownies or bar cookies, cool brownies or bar cookies completely, but do not cut into individual servings. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again with foil. Freeze up to 3 months.To thaw, unwrap and let them stand at room temperature for 3-4 hours before cutting into squares or bars.
And, have I told you just how much I just love a brownie that melts in your mouth?
Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!

These are everthing a brownie should be, squidgy, chocolaty, delicious, and for a coeliac – perfect 😀 It did take longer to cook than the recipe – but not an issue!Tiffany —Reply
I just made these! They dont look like your picture at all, but they are fantastic!
I subbed pecans and Erythritol (1 1/3 cup)
Fir walnuts and sugar, they are now keto friendly and like i said Fantastic!! Thanks so much!I also added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, not sure if it did anything or not..lol

Can i substitute the butter with something healthier like coconut oil?
Sandy —
I have never tried that. Come back and tell me if it worked :)
Carlie —Reply
Do you think this would taste good without almond extract? I don’t have any!
Sandy —
Yes, you can make it without the almond extract! :)
Rachelle —Reply
Do you think it’d work to use coconut oil instead of butter? We are dairy free here now.
Sandy —
Rachelle, I have not tried this recipe with coconut oil, so I hesitate to say it works! If you try it, come back and let me know :)
Linda —Reply
Doesn’t say when to put in the almond extract. I assume with the vanilla?
Sandy —
Yes, thank you! I added that in.
sarah —Reply
These were a huge hit and I am so glad to be able to freeze them too. Thank you for sharing.
Julia —Reply
Props to you for the 25 years, congratulations! These brownies look really good too, I’ll have to try them out :)

Could this be made sans chopped almonds?
Sandy —
I have not tried it, Michele. Let me know if you tried the almonds!
Vicky —Reply
I’ve only noticed almond meal at Trader Joe’s but do they have almond flour too?
Costco has almond flour at some locations also.Mikael —Reply
In your ingredients you list almond flour but in your directions you say almond meal. Which is it? I’ve heard that they produce different results.
Sandy —
I used almond flour. If you use almond meal (or you make your own), the brownies will be gooey, but good!
Barb G —Reply
Is there Nutrition information on this? Carbs?
Wendy —Reply
Does anyone have the carb count on this?
Genevieve Wilkinson —Reply
I made these with Swerve and they turned out great.
Monica —
Did you use one cup of granulated swerve? I have that on hand and was thinking of using
Jennifer —Reply
Do you think these would work with Splenda or Stevia instead of sugar?.. my daughter is a type 1 diabetic and think these would be a great treat for her!
Sandy —
No, I think you really need to use sugar. Let me know if you try it though, and if it turned out!
Keri —
Try to use coconut palm sugar. Its lower glycemic, tastes like brown sugar, and works perfectly well in every baked good I’ve tried it in!
Larae —
Try using Xylitol. I love it. It’s a lot like sugar. 1:1 and is approved for diabetics. I’m not a fan of stevia. Good luck!
Tieghan Gerard —Reply

I adore baked goods made with almond flour. Adds such wonderful texture and flavor to desserts. These brownies look awesome! And they’re easy to freeze? Well, that just sounds wonderful (and dangerous) :-)

Nice and easy to freeze! Thanks Brian!
