Almond Pecan Brownies {Gluten Free}
I could not think of any other recipe to kick off the month of November with than my Gluten Free almond pecan brownies! To say that "my husband loves brownies" is an understatement, so I have had my fair share of playing around with many different ways to make brownies for him and if I am being honest, for me too! There is just something about the almond flour and crushed pecans coming together within a rich chocolate mixture that makes these brownies a delicious Fall treat that everyone will love! Oh, and did I mention they are Gluten Free? These brownies truly are a sweet treat for everyone to enjoy throughout the holiday season.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour

Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small sauce pan melt 5 tbsp of salted butter on your stovetop. Set aside to cool.
- Within a medium mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 cups cocoa powder. Whisk together until all of these ingredients are evenly combined. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, pour in the melted butter, along with 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and mix on low speed, while adding in one room temperature egg at a time. When all 3 large eggs have been added, cream the melted butter, sugars, and eggs together, while pouring in 1 tbsp of vanilla extract and mix these ingredients on medium speed until all ingredients are evenly combined and have reached a smooth consistency.
- Time to mix in our dry ingredient mixture! Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix together on low speed in between adding the dry mixture until all ingredients are evenly combine.
- Finally add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of crushed pecans to the brownie batter and mix them in on low speed until they are evenly combined within the brownie batter.
- Line a 9"x9" glass or metal baking pan with parchment paper and pour in the brownie batter with a silicone spatula to smooth over within the pan to make sure the brownie batter is evenly distributed throughout the pan before baking.
- Pop your brownie batter within your 350 degree oven and bake for 40-45 minuets.
- When your brownies are done, it is important that you allow them time to completely cool before cutting them, as they will continue to bake even when you take them out of the oven. Once they are cool, cut them up, and enjoy them with loved ones!
