Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Fudgy Brownies
Fudgy and Chewy Brownies
Prep time:
Cook time:
Yeild: 16 large squares
Ingredients:
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Brand for Paleo diet)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 avocado
- 3 large eggs
- ½ banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup organic coconut palm sugar*
- 1 cup almond meal
- ¼ cup dark cocoa powder**
Instructions:
*Use white refined sugar if you prefer.
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Grease and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave, heating for about 30 second at a time and stirring in between until melted and combined. Set aside.
- Mash the avocado and banana in a large bowl (You’ll only need one bowl.)
- Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together (I use a fork for this recipe).
- Add sugar, almond meal and dark cocoa powder.
- Drizzle in the chocolate and coconut mixture, slowly so that the mixture in the bowl doesn’t cool it too fast and turn the coconut oil or chocolate back to a solid. (Really slow. A thin drizzle, while mixing. An extra person to hold the bowl here is handy, but if not, just ground your bowl on a damp cloth to prevent from moving around)
- Once all mixed together, pour into baking pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until it is not soft and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Let cool in the pan, and then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight (if you can wait that long).
- Slice into squares and serve.
**I like Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder.

Hi! We just made the brownies today-which are delicious! But, realized afterwards that the instructions never called for the 1/2 banana so we completely forgot to put it in! They still taste amazing but I am curious where the banana is needed. Thought I would add it to my notes for next time :) Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHI! I've been away for a week so apologies for the late response. My idea with the banana was for a bit of moisture and when I was testing, a whole banana seemed like too much. Glad to know if worked without out it and I've updated the instructions. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for the comment!
