I love that these brownies are made with almond flour instead of regular flour. It makes them nice and dense, with a rich, nutty flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try these brownies because I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but I'm so glad I did! The coconut flavor is very subtle, and it pairs really well with the chocolate.
