Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (85% dark) Look for high-quality brands like Guittard or Ghirardelli for the richest flavor.
  • 1 cup almond flour This keeps our brownies gluten-free and adds a lovely nutty taste.
  • 1/2 cup collagen peptides I recommend Vital Proteins or Great Lakes brand for their solubility and clean ingredients.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Enhances the chocolate flavor; sea salt is preferred!
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency.
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar A healthier sweetener that adds a caramel-like flavor.
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted This adds moisture to the brownies.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract A splash of high-quality vanilla makes everything better!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your dark chocolate chips, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and glossy.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, collagen peptides, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk your room temperature eggs, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the wet mixture.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  7. Evenly spread the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 20 minutes. The edges should be set and the center will have a slight jiggle.
  2. Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature, and for the best texture, refrigerate them for a few hours.
  3. Cut into squares and serve as is, or garnish with melted dark chocolate or edible flowers.

Notes

Store at room temperature for a few days in an airtight container, or in the fridge for up to a week. For freezing, cut into squares, wrap individually and freeze for up to three months.
