# How To Make It:

03 - In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder, almond flour or oat flour, and salt.
04 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
05 - Stir in any optional chocolate chips, nuts, or toppings if desired.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Place the pan on a wire cooling rack and let brownies cool completely.
09 - For best texture, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into 12 squares.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get that decadent brownie experience while sneaking in protein and probiotics
  • The texture is incredibly fudgy and rich without any butter or oil
02 -
  • Overmixing will make these tough instead of fudgy, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • The toothpick test should show moist crumbs, not come out completely clean, for that perfect texture
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate more easily and create a smoother batter
  • Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch
