Get the Recipe: Gluten Free Dairy Free Brownies
These gluten free dairy free brownies are gooey, fudge like and chocolaty. They have crisp chewy edges and a soft gooey center. These Paleo brownies are made without gluten or dairy, but they are even better than boxed brownies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut sugar, or granulated white sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup tapioca flour, see note
- ¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix coconut sugar and eggs for 2 minutes on high, until light and frothy.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt coconut oil. Then, stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Mix until smooth and creamy. If needed, microwave the whole bowl for another 10 seconds to get chocolate fully melted.
- Then, add melted chocolate mixture to stand mixer. Mix until combined.
- Stir in cocoa powder, tapioca flour, and vanilla extract.
- Optional but highly recommended: fold in an additional ¼ cup chocolate chips to the batter.
- Pour batter into lined baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and bang on countertop 2 to 3 times to release any air bubbles.
- Return pan to oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, cool brownies completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use coconut sugar for Paleo. White granulated sugar works as well.
- Tapioca flour can be replaced with cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
- Brownie batter will be just slightly thicker than traditional boxed brownie mix.
- To bang pan on countertop after initial baking time, wear oven mitts. Lightly drop pan onto countertop, about 2 inches in depth. This releases any air bubbles.
- My brownies were done after 25 minutes total. Check doneness by inserting toothpick into middle of brownies. If it comes out clean, they are done.
- These brownies are gooey! Allow them to cool before digging into!
- My favorite dairy free chocolate chips are Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips.
- These brownies do not taste like coconut. If you're concerned about that, I suggest using refined coconut oil which is neutral tasting.
