Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.​
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.​
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.​
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. If using, fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.​
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.​
  6. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.​

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezing: Wrap the loaf tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Variations: Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste preference.​
