During our testing, we discovered that the secret to fudgy brownies is actually less flour (or none at all). That’s why you’ll only find 2 tablespoons of almond flour in this recipe, along with lots of thick and creamy ingredients like almond butter and melted dark chocolate.
We’ve tested this recipe in different ovens and found that turning the brownie pan around 20 minutes in helps them cook evenly.
