Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup butter or ghee or coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Bailey's Ganache
- 1½ cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
- 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk or half and half
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, ghee, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir together until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the brownies in the pan completely.
- While the brownies are cooling, melt all ingredients for the ganache in a bowl using 10 second increments in the microwave, or you can use a double boiler. Stir until smooth.

Notes
- These brownies will continue to set as they cool, so remove them from the preheated oven once a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- A great way to make a non-alcoholic version of these brownies is to substitute Baileys with an Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer. You can also add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerating the brownies allows the chocolate ganache to firm up, making them easier to slice. If you prefer a softer topping, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- For the richest homemade brownie recipe, go for high-quality chocolate chips and cocoa powder to really enhance the deep, indulgent flavors.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week to keep the chocolate ganache firm. For a softer topping, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
