Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and dry cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir frequently until both are fully melted and combined. Alternatively, you can melt them together in short bursts in the microwave, stirring after each burst until completely smooth.
In a food processor or blender, pulse the 1 cup of almonds until finely ground but not turning into almond butter. Add the ground almonds to the flour and cocoa powder mixture and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
Add the sour cream and fold it in until fully incorporated. Then, gently fold in the roughly chopped almonds.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The brownies will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Serve the brownies as is, or with a scoop of ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter and chocolate are fully melted and combined smoothly for a rich brownie base.
- To achieve a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture.
- Let your brownies cool completely before cutting them to prevent crumbling.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the brownies before baking.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a deep, rich chocolate flavor.
With these chocolate and almond brownies, you've got a sinfully delightful treat that's both rich and crunchy. Whether it's for a special occasion or simply to satisfy a sweet tooth, these brownies are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the blend of deep chocolate flavor and nutty goodness with each bite!
