Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Oven
- Large Pot
- Saucepan
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons tablespoons cocoa powder sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon almond extract
- 1/3 cup cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Prepare an 8-by-8-inch baking pan by lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on two edges. This ensures easy removal of the brownies later.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can do this in a double boiler or by placing a medium-large bowl over gently simmering water. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy, then remove it from heat.
- Incorporate the sugar into the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture has cooled slightly. The texture should be velvety.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the chocolate mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, fold it in carefully. You want to combine both mixtures without overworking the batter to maintain that fudgy texture.
- Gently fold in the slivered almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For the fudgiest texture, cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before cutting.
- To serve, lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares. Enjoy your delicious Triple Almond Brownies!
