Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) finely ground almond flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (50g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, sifted cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and grated Parmesan.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in optional add-ins if using.
  5. Pour batter into prepared skillet, spreading evenly. Sprinkle a small pinch of Parmesan on top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove skillet from oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, tent skillet loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use finely ground almond flour for best texture. Melted butter should be warm but not hot to avoid grainy batter. Let brownies rest for at least 10 minutes to firm up crust. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan.
