Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, almond butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
Fold in the vegan mini marshmallows, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The brownies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. These brownies are perfect on their own or served with a scoop of vegan ice cream for an extra treat!
