almond meal brownies

These homemade, cheesecake brownies are SO good and they are gluten-free and flourless by using&nbsp; almond meal in place of wheat flour, then swirled with a cheesecake topping!

Flourless Cheesecake Brownies

Nonstick cooking spray

eggs

almond meal

cocoa powder

salt

baking soda

raw honey

vanilla extract (divided)

chocolate chips

1/3 less fat cream cheese

sugar

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a nonstick 9 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with two strips of parchment 8 inches wide and long enough to leave a 2-inch overhang on all sides.

In a medium bowl, whisk 1 large whole egg with 1 egg yolk (separate the whites and reserve, set aside).

Add 1⁄4 cup water, the honey, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and stir with the spatula until combined.

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond meal, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.

Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture and mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Soften the package of cream cheese in the microwave, mix in sugar, reserved egg white and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Pour over the brownie mix and spread over the top with a spatula, marbelize the with a toothpick.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

How To Make Flourless Cheesecake Brownies

Recipe video above. Like my flourless chocolate cake, I make these Flourless Chocolate Brownies even when I’m not after a gluten free dessert because they’re that good! Using almond meal instead of flour adds lovely undertones of nuttiness as well as guaranteeing they&#39;ll be fudgy and moist.Very easy, forgiving recipe, hard to stuff up. See note for scaling up.

Flourless Chocolate Brownies (gluten free)

dark chocolate chips

tsp cooking/kosher salt

brown sugar ((sub white))

tsp vanilla extract

almond meal / ground almonds ((or almond flour, Note 2))

rice flour ((Note 3))

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 325°F (160°C fan-forced) with a rack in the lower third of the oven.

Preparation: Grease and line a 20cm / 8&quot; square pan with baking paper (parchment paper) with excess overhang so it&#39;s easy to lift out the brownie when cooked.

Melt butter and chocolate: Place chocolate, butter and salt in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 3 x 30 second bursts on high, mixing in between, until melted and smooth. You could also do this over simmering water on the stove.

Cool 5 minutes: Mix well to combine the chocolate and butter then leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Add vanilla, sugar and eggs: Stir in the vanilla and sugar. Crack the eggs straight into the bowl, and stir until combined.

Add dry: Add almond meal and rice flour, and mix very well until fully combined.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 minutes or until the brownies are slightly puffed all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but clean. You want it to be moist!

Cool and serve: Cool brownies for at least 30 minutes in the pan. Remove the brownie by holding the edges of the baking paper, fully cool on a rack. Then cut into squares (3 x 3 for gigantic ones, 4 x 4 for sensible ones).  See Note 4 for more cutting tips.
