Instructions for Simple Gluten-Free Desserts
Follow these steps to make your delicious and easy gluten-free almond flour brownies:
- Make the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and coconut sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Chocolate Topping (optional): In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies. Let set before cutting into squares.
