grain free brownies

These healthy brownies have it all – the luscious fudgy texture, the intense chocolate flavour and they’re easy to make! Plus, they’re gluten, grain and dairy free, as well as paleo.

Super Fudgy Healthy Brownies (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Paleo)

oz (125 g) 80%+ dark chocolate, chopped

(50 g) coconut oil, softened at room temperature ((but not melted))

eggs, room temperature

almond flour

(30 g) cocoa powder

salt

dark chocolate chunks and chips ((optional))

Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with greaseproof/baking paper.

In a heat-proof bowl above a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or a hand mixer with the double beater attachments, whisk the eggs and coconut sugar until pale, fluffy and tripled in volume. This will take about 5 - 7 minutes.

Slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate while whisking on low speed. Whisk until the chocolate is fully incorporated.

Sift the almond flour, cocoa powder and salt into the egg-chocolate mixture, and gently fold in the dry ingredients (using a spatula) until no clumps remain.

Stir most of the chocolate chunks and chips into the brownie batter, then transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top, and sprinkle over the rest of the chocolate chunks and chips.

Bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for 18 - 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached (for fudgy brownies) or even with some half-baked batter attached (for gooey brownies).

Serve the brownies either still warm or once cooled.

The healthy brownies keep well in a cool dry place in a closed container for 3 - 4 days.

An easy avocado brownie recipe, these brownies are gluten free, dairy free flourless and refined sugar free.

Avocado Brownie

avocado

maple syrup

tsp vanilla essence (optional)

110 g ground almond (1 Cup)

cocoa (This is half a cup)

tsp baking powder

chocolate

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius or approximately 360 degrees Fahrenheit

Line a cake tin with baking paper or parchment paper, or use a silicone tin.   The tin I used was 20cm x 17cm  (approx. 8 x 7 inches)

Place the wet ingredients into your food processor (avocado, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla (optional) Blitz until you have a lovely smooth green purée

Add the dry ingredients, excluding the chocolate chips (ground almond, cocoa and baking powder).  Pulse until the mixture comes together to a well-combined consistent batter

Add the chocolate chips, pulse until they are just incorporated into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin I stud the top of the brownie with a few extra dark chocolate drops, it is an optional step but makes the brownie look even more appealing

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top of the brownie  is set and when you pierce the brownie with a toothpick it comes out clean Allow to cool in the tin

Lift the cooled brownie out of the tin, Slice into 16 pieces

Decadent, yet healthy, 3 ingredient banana fudge brownies that have 7 grams protein per brownie! They are super easy to make, as well as grain-free, oil-free, vegan and Paleo.

3 Ingredient Banana Fudge Brownies (High Protein)

banana

almond butter ((see notes for options))

cocoa powder

Optional Add-Ins: See notes, below

Preheat oven.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper (if you are ok with some oil, you can, alternatively grease or spray pan with nonstick cooking spray).

Make the batter

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, almond butter and cocoa powder until smooth. (Add any extra ingredients, if using).Tip: Make sure your mashed bananas are very smooth. I like to use a stick blender to make a smooth puree so that I do not end up with lumps of banana in the batter.

Spread in pan

Spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes until firmly set at outer edges and just barely set at the center (do not overbake! the brownies will set as they cool).

Cool

Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely in pan. Cut into 9 squares.

Ok, kitchen superstar, these are FANTASTIC! I added the chopped remains of a dark chocolate bar, a squirt of vanilla and some grated orange zest to the brownies because I love chocolate and orange together. I took mine out at the minimum time because I wanted to make sure they were very fudgy (they were). Out of this world! THANK YOU!

so good and crazy easy! My boyfriend loves these, too!

Love these! So easy to make and absolutely delicious. I added a few pieces of white chocolate chips at the top for a little bit of extra sweetness.

This is probably the easiest and most delicous thing I've ever made!

These are very very good! I added some mini chocolate chips on top for extra chocolate goodness.
