Healthy Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
These brownies are insanely good. They have the BEST texture and rich flavor that is sure to satisfy. If you make one thing, MAKE THESE! They are made with healthier ingredients and are refined sugar-free, so you feel better eating them.
Almond flour: Use super-fine and I find it better to weigh out, however that is not necessary. It is higher in protein, fiber, and healthy fats
Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids and minerals for anti-inflammatory benefits. You can substitute with cocoa powder if needed. I buy mine from Thrive Market for the best price and size!
Salt: Brings out the chocolate flavor
Baking soda: A small amount is used for leavening
Grass-fed ghee: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and butyrate to soothe inflammation. You can substitute with grass-fed butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
Chocolate: I use Hu Chocolate for an unrefined sugar and healthy chocolate option
Eggs: I use pasture-raised eggs for 2-3 times the omega-3s, more vitamins, and sustainability. Make sure the eggs are room temperature so they mix smoothly
Coconut sugar: An unrefined sugar with a lower glycemic index
Date syrup: Contains fiber, minerals, and antioxidants
