Get the Recipe: Sea Salt Brownies
These Sea Salt Brownies are deeply rich, fudgy, and intensely chocolatey with a slightly crispy edge and a soft, gooey center. Brown butter, almond flour, and dark chocolate chips build layers of nutty, caramel flavor, and flaky sea salt on top makes every bite impossible to stop.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups coconut sugar, or granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 13 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups almond flour, see note
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Make the brown butter. Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Cook until the butter becomes golden brown. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar and eggs.
- Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes, until light and frothy.
- Then, add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet of brown butter. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips. Batter may be slightly thicker than traditional brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into lined pan. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Finally, remove from oven. Top with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Feel free to replace the 1 ¼ cups almond flour with ¾ cup gluten free flour or ⅓ cup all purpose flour.
- Stir the brown butter occasionally to prevent burning.
- Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to get those tasty brown bits!
- The brownies should look a little gooey when they first come out of the oven.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
