Get the Recipe: Eggless Brownies (Gluten Free, Vegan)
These eggless brownies are soft, chewy and so chocolaty! They are made gluten free, dairy free and egg free. These egg free brownies are a great dessert for those who are Vegan or looking for a healthy treat!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flaxseed
- 5 tbsp water
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup creamy nut butter, see note
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, make flax eggs. Combine flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Allow this mixture to sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt coconut oil. Stir in ¼ cup dark chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Pour melted chocolate mixture into mixing bowl. Stir in creamy nut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Once combined, add almond flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Fold in remaining dark chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into lined baking pan.
- Bake for 18 to 21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, allow brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- I do not recommend a replacement for the flax eggs. Chia eggs or a Vegan egg replacer will yield much different results.
- Use ground flaxseed, not regular flax seeds.
- Use creamy almond butter or creamy cashew butter for best results. Look for brands that use just nuts and salt. Added sugars and oils will alter the brownies.
- Use Vegan dark chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips.
- Brownie batter will be thicker than traditional brownie batter.
- Bake until middle is set and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake!
- Allow brownies to fully cool before slicing into.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 6 days.
- Room temperature brownies are more cake like, whereas chilled brownies are more fudge like.
