Ingredients

Things you need to prepare these brownies are mentioned below. For the best results, it’s advisable to use quality products, as the taste and texture are highly affected by this.

• Coconut flour is the magic in this recipe! There is no gluten in coconut flour, and it contains a great deal of fiber. We recommend using a well-known brand like Bob’s Red Mill to get a uniform texture.
• The best option will be the unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a deep and rich chocolate taste. The use of cocoa powder may give the food a somewhat bitter taste.
• Almond or peanut butter: You should opt for natural creamy almond or peanut butter with no fat or salt for the creamy taste.
• Brownies stay soft with maple syrup and develop a nice sweetness.
• Eggs: Room temperature eggs will aid in bringing together and giving shape to the brownies.
• Vanilla extract adds a warm, sweet note that generally heightens the overall flavor.
• Sugar: White sugar is the standard way of adding sweetness, but brown sugar might make the caramel taste a bit more pronounced.
• Baking soda: This leavening agent will give your brownies a little height, making them soft.
• Salt: A pinch of salt balances the taste and brings out the sweetness.
• In addition, chocolate chips may be added for that extra chocolate hit with every bite.

How to Make Coconut Flour Brownies: DIRECTIONS

Follow these few easy steps to make the best fudgy coconut flour brownies.

1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, to prevent the brownies from sticking.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut flour. Whisk until well combined.
3. Prep wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, sugar, and eggs until smooth and glossy.
4. Melt the chocolate chips and stir those in. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until well combined and smooth. You can then fold in chocolate chips, if desired.
5. Bake: Spread the brownie batter in the prepared baking pan. Bake in a preheating hot oven for 25 to 27 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. Let it cool down and cut it up. In the pan, let the brownies cool down before cutting them into pieces. This is not a step to hurry through — very important to get the right thickness.

How to Make the Best Coconut Flour Brownies: SECRETS

• Sift dry ingredients together: This ensures your batter doesn’t become lumpy, so your brownies will always be smooth.
• Once the brownies are cool, give them a light press: This will help make those famously crackly tops that make brownies so tasty.
• Don’t substitute the flour: This is one of those recipes where you really have to follow the recipe exactly. Coconut flour tends to absorb much more water than regular flour, so it’s important not to make that substitution.
• Add-ins let you change things up: You can add mix-ins you enjoy, like sugar-free chocolate chips, nuts, or shredded coconut, for texture and added flavor.

Health benefits

An excellent substitute for wheat flour is Coconut flour and also benefits one’s health in many ways. It contains no gluten, it is highly fibrous, and low in carbs; thus, it is highly beneficial for paleo and keto dieters. Besides, taking natural sweeteners like maple syrup lowers the glycemic index of the brownies to a great extent, which helps maintain blood sugar levels.

Keto Version

In a batch of brownies for keto dieters, use keto maple syrup instead of regular maple syrup, sugar-free chocolate chips, and replace the sugar with a low-carb sweetener such as allulose or stevia.

Vegan Option

Make the recipe vegan, replace the eggs with a vegan alternative (e.g., flax eggs or aquafaba). The texture may vary.

Storage

• At Room Temperature: The brownies can be kept for three days at room temperature, contained in an airtight jar. They will retain their nature: soft and gooey.
• Cooling down: The brownies will last longer if you place them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. They might get a little harder, but they are going to be amazing.
• Freezing: Simply put the brownies in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 6 months. When ready to serve, you can let them thaw at room temperature or heat them up in the microwave.
