Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup almond flour store bought
  • ¼ cup gluten free oats flour ( to make oats flour - grind the oats and sieve it ) see notes
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar ( or regular sugar)
  • ¼ cup coco powder
  • ½ cup 70 % chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (If using chocolate block, we need 3 oz)
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup oil ( I used vegetable oil)
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips

Instructions

Melting the Chocolate -

  • Chop the chocolate and melt it in a microwave safe bowl. I microwaved for one minute and mixed it well. Let it cool.

Wet Ingredients-

  • To a large glass bowl add the coconut sugar and eggs. Whisk it for 2 to 3 minutes till light and fluffy. This helps in getting a crispy layer on the top.
  • Add the oil and mix it.
  • Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract and mix it well.

Dry Ingredients -

  • Add the almond flour, oats flour, baking soda, coco powder and salt. Gently fold in, do not over mix.

Baking the Brownies -

  • Grease a 8 by 8 baking pan with oil. To easily remove the brownies I lined the pan with a parchment paper and sprayed oil and dusted with some coco powder. 
  • Transfer the batter to the pan and top with chocolate chips.
    Bake at 350 F or 175 C for 25 minutes until the tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake, if not the brownies will be dry in the middle.
  • Let the brownies cool for atleast 45 minutes to an hour before cutting.

Notes

  1. Though oats are gluten free, not all oats are processed in gluten free facility. If you are gluten intolerant, please make sure you get the oats which have gluten free oats written on the pack.
  2. Quick or old fashioned gluten free oats can be used.
  3. To make oats flour - grind the gluten free oats and sieve it to get a fine oats flour.
  4. Almond Flour- I used store bought almond flour, Kirkland brand from Costco.
  5. Coconut sugar can be replaced with light brown sugar or regular granulated sugar.
  6. Do not skip the vanilla extract.
  7. If you are gluten tolerant, you can substitute oats flour with all purpose flour.
 
Please take a moment to go over the tips and Faq above the recipe card before trying the brownies.
