The best part? We both find these brownies amazingly good! 😍 I hope you get a chance to try them too! ENJOYYY :)


Ingredients:

  • Wet Ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
    • 1/4 cup avocado oil (or a substitute can be applesauce - same quantity)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup dark chocolate (I used 70%), melted (ensure it's dairy-free and refined sugar-free)

  • Dry Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup almond flour
    • 2 tbsp coconut flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/8 tsp salt

  • Optional Add-ins:

    • 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (ensure they're refined sugar-free)
    • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. Melt Chocolate:

    • Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until completely melted. Let it cool slightly.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, and mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.
    • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
    • Stir in the melted dark chocolate until fully incorporated.

  4. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. Add Optional Ingredients:

    • Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts if using.

  6. Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

  7. Cool:

    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

  8. Optional Frosting or Topping:

    • For an extra touch, you can frost the cake with a dairy-free chocolate ganache. Simply melt 1/4 cup dark chocolate with 1/4 cup coconut cream and stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly before spreading over the cooled cake.
    • Alternatively, dust the cake with cocoa powder or top with fresh berries.

This small cake recipe is perfect for an intimate gathering or a small celebration, offering a rich and decadent treat that aligns with gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free dietary preferences. Enjoy!
