  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Toppings Ideas

  • sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Put almond flour and hemp hearts in the food processor. Process for 30 seconds until chopped and combined.
  2. Add agave, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Process until combined and the batter balls up. If needed, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides, chop up the ball and process again. But, the batter should come together in about 30 seconds.

  4. Use a rubber spatula or lightly dampen your hands and press the batter down until it is evenly distributed across the bottom and into the corners of the pan.
  5. Sprinkle the top with whatever toppings you like!
  6. Place in the freezer to set for about 1 hour.
  7. Remove the brownies from the pan by pulling the parchment paper.
