FAQs
Can I substitute almond flour with another flour?
Almond flour provides a unique texture and flavor, but you can try coconut flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Keep in mind that substitutions may alter the moisture and density of the brownies.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
Check by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Overbaking can cause dry brownies, so start checking around 20 minutes.

- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Notes
- Almond flour gives these brownies a dense, moist texture but ensure your almond flour is finely ground for the best results.
- You can substitute the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index option.
- To make your own caramel sauce, melt sugar slowly on the stovetop and stir in butter and cream carefully.
- If you prefer a nut-free version, consider using oat flour instead of almond flour, but the texture will be different.
- Storage: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
