Can i use coconut flour?
Hi Tabitha!
Coconut flour is very different from almond flour. Coconut flour is very liquid absorbent and it will make the batter very dry. I don’t think it will work with coconut flour.
what are the dimensions for the tray
sike i found it
Awesome recipe! I wanted to make a lower carb version so I used 1/4 cup honey and 1/2 cup Swerve (erythritol) sugar substitute, and I used butter instead of coconut oil. They turned out great, although I will probably use less Swerve next time because I would like them to be a little less sweet. I used almond flour from Nuts.com, which I find has a bit more moisture than Red Mill and I did not have to add additional butter for moisture. My husband (who normally turns up his nose at anything low-carb) loved these and even asked for seconds! Thanks again!
Awesome!! So glad that you and your husband loved the recipe! 🙂
Hi! Can I use peanut butter instead of almond butter? Smooth peanut butter will have the same effect (of course considering the taste difference)?
Thank you!
Yes, you can use peanut butter instead of almond butter. Of course, the flavor will be different but you also might need to cut back on the coconut oil because peanut butter can be more oily than almond butter.
I tried these out, and they were great!! I made them in little muffin tins instead of a square, but I’m sure the same result 🙂
Has anyone tried making these without egg? Right now I have to eliminate eggs from my diet and was wondering if I should use a flax egg or just keep it out altogether….
Can I substitute 1/4 cup cacao powder with dark chocolate bar? If so, what would be the equivalent measurement to match the 1/4 cup cacao powder on the recipe? Should I melt it first using double boiler method?
Hi I used cocoa butter instead of almond butter is this ok? Plus mine is still in the oven I followed your recipe to the T but for some reason it’s not cooking firmly as it’s still watery and it’s been in there for 45mins and still going? I’m cooking it in 160 fan force, please help I don’t know what I did wrong?? Thanks
Hi Diane,
cocoa butter is very different from almond butter. Almond butter is basically ground almonds for a long time (5-10 minutes in the food processor) and the texture is pretty firm compared to regular butter. I don’t think that cocoa butter has the same consistency and texture as almond butter. I think that’s the problem with the brownies not cooking through and being very liquidy.
I am sure it will turn out fantastic if you use almond butter next time. 🙂
Oh my word! These brownies are amazing!! I shared these with 3 other people, they all raved over them. I used maple syrup instead of honey, and used half butter/coconut oil. I made my own almond butter too, a first for me. My new favorite brownie!!
Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Hello! These look delicious! Im making them tomorrow. However, I see that it says to add Chocolate chips. I cant find chxolate chips without added sugar. I think that 100% cocoa chocolate bar would do, but it would probably make the brownies bitter. If I do not use chocolate chips, will the brownies be dry?
Hi Alyssa,
yes, you can make the brownies without the chocolate chips and they won’t be dry. I would add a little bit more walnuts instead to keep the brownies at the same consistency. You could add 100% cocoa chocolate bar chips if you like the taste and it’s not too bitter for you. Hope you enjoy it!
You can find 100% pure organic cacao chocolate chips (no sugar added) from Santa Barbara Chocolate’s website.
