Helpful Chef Tips
- Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist and chewy.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Step 1
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking pan so the brownies don’t stick. Spread the mixed nuts out on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until they’re golden and smell toasty. Let them cool while you get the rest ready.
Step 2
In a bowl, cream together the brown sugar, flaxseed oil, and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Now, fold in two-thirds of the toasted nuts along with the almond flour, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, dark chocolate, and baking powder. Mix everything until you have a nice, even batter.
Step 4
Pour the batter into your greased pan, then sprinkle the remaining nuts evenly over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the brownies cool a bit before cutting and serving.
