Ingredients
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened for rich flavor without extra sugar)
1/3 cup coconut sugar (a healthier, low-glycemic sweetener)
2 tbsp maple syrup (adds natural sweetness and moisture)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (for a fudgy, rich texture)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for extra depth in flavor)
2 eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
Pretzels, candy eyes, and red candies (for decorating as reindeer)
Directions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and coconut sugar. Mix in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir until well-blended and smooth.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the mixture into a lined baking pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges set but the center remains fudgy.
- Cool and cut: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares or circles.
- Decorate: Add two pretzel pieces as antlers, candy eyes, and a red candy for the nose to each piece, creating a reindeer face.
Notes
- Serve these brownies as a snack or dessert on a holiday platter with a side of warm almond milk or tea.
