1/3cupfinely ground almond flourspooned and leveled
1/4teaspoonbaking soda
1/8teaspoonfine sea salt
3tablespoonsdark chocolate baking chipsdivided (I use Lily's)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325F, and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Grease the pan.
In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals until fully melted.
Whisk in the cocoa powder, then whisk in the eggs until the batter has loosened.
Add the pumpkin puree, monkfruit sweetener, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
Add the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips. Whisk until a smooth brownie batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of chocolate chips.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The brownies should still look a little bit tack, but should be set and not jiggly.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting into.
Notes
Cover the brownies in aluminum foil as soon as they've cooled, to keep them from drying out.
Store in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for 3-5 days, or in the fridge for 1 week.
To freeze, double bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
