If you have Pinterest, you can follow the blog on there. I have made several of her recipes and haven't been disappointed yet.
Kaileigh-you could use butter and sugar. Same measurements. Like I said, the coconut product doesn't make these healthy, just gives an alternative to sugar and butter. You could also use olive oil (probably only need about 4 tbs of that) and brown sugar as well or a sugar substitute in the appropriate amount.
I just added the recipe to the original post. It's from a blog called "running with spoons" she does a lot of gluten free, vegan and paleo recipes. Some are healthy-banana chocolate chip muffins are crazy good and gluten free and full of protein-but some are just tasty alternatives to gluten. Like these. And sorry, skate, my edit screwed up your comment.
I actually said "these would be really good with walnuts", yessie.
I've got big shoulders, darling. I can take it. Lol And, yes, they're quite chocolatey. And gooey. And you'd never know there isn't any flour or sugar.
They're really good. They're not exactly healthy, but they're a pretty good replication of a chewy brownie.
Anyone want a brownie?
(They're gluten free and white sugar free...don't tell my family!)
Recipe:
6 tbsp coconut oil
6 oz chocolate chips (I used sugar free)
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
2/3 c coconut sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp cornstarch
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8x8 glass pan with tin foil and spray with non stick spray. Melt chocolate chips and oil on the stove. In stand mixer cream sugar, eggs and vanilla for 2 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture. Blend til smooth. With mixer on low, add cocoa powder, salt and cornstarch. Mix until thick and smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. You can sub butter and white sugar for the coconut oil and sugar.
Omg, whyyyy did you have to post this?! Now I must waddle my big behind to the grocery store to buy a box of brownie mix!!!
