brownies and blondies

Sweet, decadent and ultra-fudgy, these almond flour brownies are sinfully delicious. Made with only a few simple ingredients, you'll never believe these brownies are free of both gluten and grains!

Almond Flour Brownies

butter

(347 grams) sugar

salt

vanilla extract

(64 grams) unsweetened cocoa Dutch-process or natural

eggs

almond flour

baking powder

A change-up from the typical bar cookie, these intensely maple-flavored squares aren't dense and chewy like the typical blondie/brownie, but instead are moist and cake-like. Enjoy them as is, or with a scoop of ice cream.

unsalted butter

(159 grams) brown sugar

(92 grams) maple syrup

(39 grams) maple syrup

If gooey isn't a word that's high up on your list of favorite food characteristics, then this cake-like brownie is for you. And, if you're a diehard fudgy brownie fan, and are sure you'd never enjoy a cakey brownie — try this one. Similar to dense, very moist, fine-grained chocolate cake, this brownie is an ideal candidate for your favorite chocolate-friendly glaze — say, mocha.

Do you like them cakey or fudgy? Light or dark? Chewy or tender? Warm or chilled? Nuts or no nuts? There's no way to satisfy everyone in the quest for the perfect brownies. However, oftentimes the baking journey is just as good as the destination (if not better), and this is a worthy batch to stop and visit.

Looking to use up some of the excess zucchini from your garden? Sure you are! But even if you have to buy zucchini at the market for these fudgy brownies, it's worth it; zucchini contributes to the brownies' moist texture without adding any "green" flavor. These brownies are just plain good.

Bacon, baked with brown sugar to "candy" it, is sprinkled atop the brownie batter just before baking. The result? Salt, sweet, and smoke in each delicious bite.
