Recipe Tips

  • Almond flour can go by different names such as almond meal or ground almonds. Any of these will work fine with this recipe.
  • Make sure you use unsweetened cocoa powder for the best results.
  • If you think your brownies are starting to burn around the edges, cover them with foil.
  • Lining your tin is very important as it helps prevent the brownie from sticking to the side.
  • You can melt your chocolate and butter in the microwave instead of over the stove. Make sure you’re checking the mixture as chocolate will still burn quite easily.
  • Ovens can vary quite heavily in cooking time, so you may need to cook the brownies for longer or shorter.
  • Allow the chocolate brownies to cool before cutting; otherwise, they may fall to bits. They will firm after an hour or two of cooling.
