The Best GF Brownie Recipe

healthy living

Gluten, dairy and guilt free. These brownies are rich, decadent and you wouldn’t even know whether or not they’re healthy! This is the second brownie recipe I’ve made because I want variation in my recipes, depending on what ingredients my readers may have available. The first included bananas, but this one is a little different, but the closest you can get to regular brownies.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 60g dairy free chocolate (I used sweetswitch)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao flour
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

STEPS

  1. Using a double boiler (heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water) melt your coconut oil and chocolate.
  2. In the meantime, blend your oats in a blender to make oat flour.
  3. Once your chocolate has melted, remove from the double boiler and allow it to cool down.
  4. Crack your eggs in a small bowl and use some of your chocolate batter to temper it. Mix well and add the eggs to the rest of your chocolate. Incorporate gently and you will notice the batter thickening.
  5. Mix in the coconut sugar and vanilla.
  6. Sift in your cacao and oat flour and fold in gently until your batter is well incorporated. The key is to not over mix your brownie batter.
  7. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. I used a bread mould because I only made a small portion, but you can easily double the recipe.
  8. Bake the brownies at 170º C for 30-35 mins depending on the accuracy of your oven.
  9. Allow them to cool before slicing. (Tip: best enjoyed warm)

I hope you try out this recipe, it has definitely become one of my favourites. Thank you for reading, please like and follow for more, xoxo.

Healthy Brownie Recipe

I recently came up with this recipe on the spot with basic ingredients, but it makes the softest brownies ever! The ingredients are clean and completely gluten, dairy and guilt-free! If you’ve tried baking with oats before, you’d notice that they aren’t the most forgiving and tend to become dry, but this recipe is a must try.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4-5 medium bananas (ripe)
  • 1 cup oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2-3 tbsp erythritol/ coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2-3tbsp raw cacao powder

Optional

  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs

STEPS:

  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl, mix in the eggs, sugar and vanilla (above)
  2. Blend the finely oats to make oat flour and mix into the batter.
  3. Add in the almond milk and the melted coconut oil.
  4. Sift in the cacao powder into the batter to prevent any clumps and fold in until well incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into a square pan and sprinkle the cacao nibs on top, bake in an oven at 180ºC for 40-45mins.
  6. Let it cool and slice it evenly.

The best part about this recipe is that you can barely taste the banana and it has a great texture. I hope you try it out and let me know what you think. Thank you for reading, please follow and like for more xoxo.
