These Gooey Fudgy Brownies are hands down the best batch of brownies I have made. They’ve got that rich intense dark chocolate flavor and luscious moist texture. Even better? These almond flour brownies are gluten-free.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, maple syrup and ghee (or coconut oil).
Then in a seperate mixing bowl, mix in all almond flour, cacao powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt and baking soda (if using any).
Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients with a spatula. Do not overmix. Overmix can result in tough and dry brownies once they are baked.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 of the chocolate for 30 seconds at a time until soft, runny and smooth. Stir in between. Save the rest for the top. (See below for the double boiler method).
Once the chocolate is melted, fold it into the browwniebatter.
Pour the brownie batter in a greased or parchment paper lined 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle the rest 1/4 cup chocolate chip on top along with a little extra sea salt (about 1/4 tsp).
Bake 20 - 25 minutes, or until preferred gooey/cakey-ness.

Not into microwaving your chocolate? Here is an alternative method to melt the chocolate. In a small pot, place 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate bars of your choice in it. Then fill the second pot (bigger) with water, half full. Then, place the small pot in the big pot. Bring water to boil then turn the heat to simmer. Stir the chocolate until melted.
