Coconut Flour Brownies

Ingredients

Scale

Creating these mouthwatering coconut flour brownies requires a few simple ingredients. Most of these items are likely already in your pantry, making this recipe both convenient and cost-effective. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar (or a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added texture)

Instructions

Follow these straightforward steps to create your very own batch of delicious coconut flour brownies. Ensure you have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you begin.

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. This helps to remove any lumps and ensures a smooth brownie batter.
  3. Melt the Butter: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to create a homogeneous batter. Ensure there are no lumps remaining.
  6. Fold in Extras: If you’re using chocolate chips and/or nuts, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour into Pan: Carefully pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
