Chef’s Notes- Flourless Fudgy Brownies

• Ensure Accurate Measurements: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the dark chocolate and almond meal. Precision helps achieve the perfect texture and flavor.
• Use High-Quality Chocolate: The richer the chocolate, the better the flavor. Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips or chunks for a deep, indulgent taste.
• Let the Chocolate Cool Slightly: After melting the chocolate and butter, let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes. This prevents the eggs from cooking when added, ensuring a smooth batter.
• Mix Gently: When incorporating the dry ingredients, fold them in gently. Overmixing can make the brownies dense rather than fudgy.
• Check for Doneness: Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture.
• Chill for Clean Cuts: For perfectly neat brownies, refrigerate them for about an hour before cutting. This makes slicing easier and gives you cleaner edges.
• Add Extra Flavor: Enhance the chocolate flavor by mixing in a teaspoon of instant coffee granules with the melted chocolate. It adds a subtle depth that complements the cocoa.
• Customize with Add-Ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, extra chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for additional texture and flavor.
• Storage Tips: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month.

Ingredients

• Chocolate Mixture

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• Wet Ingredients

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 3 large eggs

• Dry Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond meal (finely ground almonds)

• 1/4 cup rice flour

• Alternative Ingredients:

• Dark Chocolate: Substitute with semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.

• Unsalted Butter: Replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.

• Granulated Sugar: Use coconut sugar or maple syrup for a natural sweetener.

• Almond Meal: Swap with hazelnut meal or sunflower seed meal for nut allergies.

• Rice Flour: Substitute with cornstarch or tapioca flour.

Directions

• Melting Chocolate and Butter – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave on high for three 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool for about 5 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs when added.
• Mixing Wet Ingredients – Stir in the vanilla extract and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
• Incorporating Dry Ingredients – Gently fold in the almond meal and rice flour into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the fudgy texture.
• Baking – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
• Cooling and Serving – Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the brownies until firm before slicing.
