Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.

Add the almond flour, cocoa or cacao powder, baking soda, and sea salt to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir until combined. Add the mixture to your prepared baking dish and gently pat in an even layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately place the 16 chocolate squares evenly distributed on top of the brownies. Let the heat from the brownies melt the chocolate as the brownies cool. Once cooled, slice into 16 squares and enjoy.
