Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your vegan dessert evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. This creates the dry base of your dessert with balanced flavors and texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. These ingredients add moisture and natural sweetness to the batter.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined, forming a smooth batter without lumps.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly with coconut oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into it.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the dessert to cool completely before slicing and serving, helping the texture to set and flavors to develop.
Notes
- Make sure to use refined coconut oil if you want a neutral flavor, or unrefined for a coconut taste.
- You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or brown rice syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- For added texture, consider folding in chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
