What you need to make these bomb AF gluten free and dairy free brownies
You guys, I whipped these brownies up in thirty minutes and I only used one bowl to do it! Yay for minimal dishes!
Here’s what you need:
- dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (dairy free)
- coconut sugar
- vegan butter or coconut oil
- eggs
- gluten free baking flour
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- vanilla extract
- salt (omit if butter is salted)
- extras – flaky sea salt for topping, chopped chocolate for chunks, walnuts…
In a large heat proof bowl, I melted the chocolate, butter, vanilla and coconut sugar in the microwave. I stopped every 45 seconds or so to stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Then I used a hand mixer to beat in the eggs. Next, I folded in the gluten free baking flour and the cocoa powder until combined. Finally, I baked the brownies until they were almost done–this is the key to a fudgy brownie.
