Ingredients

brownie batter:

1 cup blanched almond flour
⅔ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp baking powder
2 eggs room temperature
½ cup butter, oil, or refined coconut oil melted and cooled
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla

pecan topping:

½ cup coconut sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp butter, oil, or refined coconut oil melted
1 cup pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper.
First we will make the brownie batter. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Then, fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients and fold just until combined.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 15 minutes.
While the brownies bake, make the pecan topping. Start by whisking together the coconut sugar, egg and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and then mix in the pecans.
After the 15 minute timer is up remove the brownies from the oven and pour the pecan mixture on top. Spread it carefully in an even layer.
Place your pan back in the oven and bake for 20 more minutes. Let the brownies cool for 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy! Store left over brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
