Servings: 9 parts
Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make these fudgy almond chocolate brownies:
2 eggs
30 g of whole cane sugar (or coconut sugar)
100 g of almond or hazelnut puree
8 cl milk (dairy or plant-based)
50 g wheat flour (T45 to T80)
1 pinch of salt
150 g dark chocolate
60 g almonds (or hazelnuts)
1 handful of chocolate chips
Tip: Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole cane sugar, almond puree, and milk. If the milk is cold from the fridge, slightly warm it for smoother blending.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, a pinch of salt, and the melted dark chocolate to the mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
3. Add the Nuts
Coarsely chop the almonds (or hazelnuts) and fold them into the batter. This gives the brownies a pleasant crunch and enhances the nutty flavor.
4. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 170°C (traditional heat). Prepare a 20 x 20 cm baking pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
5. Bake the Brownies
Pour the batter into the pan, then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top. Bake for 17 minutes. Keep in mind that baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven, so check with a toothpick—slightly moist crumbs indicate perfectly fudgy brownies.
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the brownies to cool completely before removing them from the pan. Slice into 9 pieces and enjoy a rich, chocolatey treat.
Storage and Tips
Refrigeration: Keep the brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze these brownies for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
Variations: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor. Swap almonds for hazelnuts or walnuts for variety.
