Did someone say fudgy, gluten free, vegan brownies? When you’re looking to branch out on your gluten free baking and don’t have boxed brownies on hand, look no further! I have created these super moist, maple syrup sweetened brownies just for you! And me too let’s get real, that’s the biggest perk of being a recipe creator.A lot of gluten free baking requires a laundry list of ingredients like tapioca flour, xanthan gum, potato starch, the list goes on! I am not about trying to buy all of those ingredients because 1. expensive 2. I like to keep my foods as natural as possible. This recipe requires coconut flour and almond flour as the base of the dry ingredients, so simple right?
WHAT YOU NEED
wet:
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
2 flax eggs (2 T flax meal + 5 T water)
1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 t vanilla
dry:
2/3 cup cacao powder
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 T coconut flour
3/4 cup almond flour
HOW TO MAKE
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare flax egg in its own bowl set aside to thicken. Lightly melt coconut oil just until it is liquid. Set aside to cool.
Place cacao powder and baking powder in a mesh strainer and combine into a bowl with the remaining dry ingredients.
Lightly grease an 8x8 pan by dipping a brush into the already melted coconut oil.
Whisk flax egg, vanilla, brown sugar, and maple syrup together until creamy and smooth, whisk in coconut oil until smooth adding in dry ingredients right after. Fold to combine.
Transfer to baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting. Store in the fridge to keep more fudgy or at room temperature for a softer brownie.
