INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp butter or coconut oil (for greasing pan) – or use parchment paper instead
1 1/2 sticks butter (or 3/4 cup coconut oil)
1 1/3 cups sugar (Turbinado works well, too!)
1 TBSP pure vanilla extract
1/2 + 1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 tsp sea salt
4 eggs, whisked
1 cup almond meal (we buy ours at Costco!)

*Grab yourself a copy of our Grocery Shopping Guide for our tips on selecting the most additive-free versions of these ingredients.

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and grease a 7 1/2″ x11″ glass pan – or line with parchment paper, instead – it makes life a LOT easier!

Melt butter (or coconut oil) in medium sauce pan over low heat.

Stir in sugar. Add vanilla, cocoa and salt. Stir until smooth.

Remove from heat and add eggs. Stir until smooth.

Add almond meal and stir until smooth. Transfer batter to pan.

Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Our new oven only takes about 30 minutes, so watch these closely the first time you make them…and check them frequently!

Cool for a few hours, and serve.

We actually find these more appealing (and sweeter) if they are cooled/stored in the fridge or freezer. The texture is awesome, don’t worry….they don’t turn hard or anything 🙂
