Oh my word, you guys! These are legit, the best brownies!! I know, I know, EVERYONE and their mothers are claiming to have the best recipe you’ve ever tasted. Well they are wrong when it comes to brownies, because there can only be one and this is it! They are not just the best gluten free brownies but the BEST brownies period!

But seriously, can you believe I was just “Mheh” about brownies before creating this recipe?? Crazy, yes. I don’t even know why because I love, love, love chocolate (as long as it’s dark real chocolate!) but brownies were always either too dry and crumbly or too sweet or not dark chocolatey enough. And it didn’t matter if they were gluten filled or gluten free brownies, all were underwhelming to me. But hand me a big slice of moist and buttery super dark chocolatey cake though and I’m IN.

So with that in mind I created a Double (dark) Chocolate Almond (Butter) CAKE Brownie and my life will never be the same! I’m in now when it comes to brownies and will bring these to every pot-luck function I’m invited to! Make sure to comment below on how these gluten free brownies stacked up for you and your family!

Eat and Enjoy,
Nicole

Description

These Gluten Free Double Chocolate Brownies are grain free and made with almond butter and cocoa powder. They are the easiest dessert recipe and always a family favorite. These one bowl brownies are made in under 30 minutes with a few simple ingredients!

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs (*or with Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer)
• 1 cup unsalted almond butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (I like the mildness of Trader Joes brand)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
• 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips, (1/2 cup stirred into batter, 1/4 cup sprinkled on top of batter)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper (allow the paper to hang over the edge on both sides from easy pick up and removal of the baked brownies), if any of the baking dish isn’t covered by parchment paper grease well.
3. Start by adding softened butter and pure maple syrup to a stand mixer and mixing on med-low until combined.
4. Add in 2 eggs and mix until combined.
5. Slightly heat almond butter either on the stove top or in the microwave until warm and runny (not hot). (*This will allow it to mix much easier into the batter in progress.)
6. Once warm, add the almond butter into the mixer and continue mixing until a smooth batter forms.
7. Add in the pure vanilla extract, cocoa powder (making sure to break up any chunks before adding), baking soda and salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
8. Next remove the mixing bowl from the stand and add in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and stir them through with a spatula.
9. With the help of your spatula pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish. Smooth the batter evenly in the dish.
10. Bake for 23-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Wait (the hardest part!) until completely cooled to slice and enjoy!

Notes

*I’ve tested this recipe using Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer which worked perfectly! I’ve also used cashew butter in place of almond without any noticeable difference.
