So, gluten is not helping the functionality of my thyroid and apparently not good for you. How depressing! I thought it would be nice to create gluten free treats, such as these gems!
I took Giada De Laurentiis’s double chocolate brownie recipe and made them gluten free with coconut oil.
Ingredients:
- 6 Tblsp Coconut Oil
- 2 Tblsp Vegan butter
- 2 oz dark chocolate (90% cocoa)
- 4 oz semi sweet chocolate
- 2 eggs plus 1 yolk
- 1/4 cup dark organic cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
- Pre-heat your oven to 325F
- Put the vegan butter, coconut oil, chopped dark chocolate, and semi sweet chocolate in a heat proof bowl on top of simmering water. Once melted remove and set aside to cool.
- Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
- Crack your eggs in a separate bowl and then whisk them into the cooled melted chocolate. It will look gelatinous but that is okay.
- Mix in the flour
- Mix chocolate chips.
- Put in a greased 8 inch square pan with parchment paper
Bake for 30 minutes. When you take it out of the oven it will look oily but that is okay. The oil will settle once they cool.
