Easy Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Brownies
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven and preparing an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Dry ingredients including almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt are combined separately. The coconut sugar and coconut oil are beaten together before adding eggs, vanilla, and finally folding in the dry ingredients and mini chocolate chips.
The batter is thick and pressed firmly into the pan, then baked until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, ensuring it is cooked through without becoming dry. Cooling completely before slicing helps the brownies set and hold their shape.
This recipe produces brownies that accommodate gluten and dairy-free needs without sacrificing chocolate richness. The dairy-free chocolate chips complement the cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate notes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips dairy-free
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the sugar and oil just until the sugar is moistened. Add the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and beat until JUST combined, only about 20 seconds or so. You don't want to beat too much air into the batter or the brownies will sink when baking.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press the batter into the prepared pan. It will be very thick, so pressing with lightly damp hands or waxed paper will work the best.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 26-28 minutes.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
