These Healthier Almond Flour Brownies are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. My 3-year-old is into a chocolate phase now and I wanted to bake a healthier version for him, and it was a huge success!
This is a perfect healthier chocolate snack for littles over 2 years old (as it contains sugar). Served with orange wedges on our cute little lamb bamboo plate.

Ingredients to Make ALmond Flour Brownies
- Dark chocolate chips: I use 60% bittersweet.
- Coconut oil: Butter would also work (but you need to adjust baking time – see recipe notes)
- Eggs
- Brown sugar
- Almond flour
- Vanilla extract
Step by step instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Prepare a brownie 8×8 baking pan (see recipe card notes).
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20s increments and mix until completely melted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla, almond flour and whisk together until creamy.
- Combine the contents from the 2 bowls and give it a good stir (make sure all flour lumps are dissolved).
- Pour the brownie mix into the prepared 8×8 brownie pan.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes (until edges start to harden, you want it to be a little undercooked in the middle).
- Let it cool, slice and serve.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips I used 60%
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter
- 2 eggs large
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Prepare a brownie 8×8 baking pan (see notes).
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20s increments and mix until completely melted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla and almond flour and whisk together until creamy.
- Combine the contents from the 2 bowls and give it a good stir.
- Pour the brownie mix into the prepared 8×8 brownie pan.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes. Let it cool, slice and serve.
Notes
- Grease the brownie pan or use parchment paper. I like doing both!
- Recipe for kids >2 years old as it contains brown sugar.
- Baking time will vary depending on your oven. It is between 25 and 30min, keep an eye on it and when the edges start hardening it is done! You want the brownie soft in the middle to ensure it is gooey inside.
