1-Getting started with almond brownies is a breeze, and I’ll walk you through each step to make sure you nail it on your first try. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing or lining a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. This simple prep sets the stage for a smooth baking experience.

2-Next, melt 1 cup of butter and let it cool slightly to room temperature so it doesn’t scramble the eggs when mixed. In a large bowl or mixer, beat 4 large eggs and 2 cups sugar together until the mixture turns foamy this helps create that light, airy texture. Now, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to the egg mixture, stirring until everything combines smoothly.

3-Slowly mix in the melted butter and 1 tablespoon almond extract, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even blending. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, then evenly sprinkle about 2 tablespoons sliced almonds and some additional sugar over the top for that crunchy finish. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set, but don’t overbake to keep them moist.

4-Once done, let the brownies cool before cutting them into squares this step prevents them from falling apart and keeps the texture just right.
