Ingredients for Almond Brownies

• 1 cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped almonds plus a few extra for topping
• ½ cup chocolate chips optional for extra richness

How to Make Almond Brownies

Step One

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or cover it with parchment paper for easy removal.And , melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly so the eggs don’t cook.

Step Two

Get a large bowl. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and stir.

Step Three

Then, in a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold this dry mixture into the wet mixture until well combined.

Step Four

Now, add the almonds and chocolate chips, and gently fold in with a spatula until the nuts are evenly distributed. Then, pour the mixture into the baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle some extra almonds on top for garnish and crunch.

Step Five

Now it’s time to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; the brownies should be soft, not dry.

Step Six

Finally, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, cut them into squares or rectangles and enjoy.
