These vegan gluten free brownies make a healthy indulgence anytime made with coconut flour. They are moist and fudgy and easy to prepare, plus they’re baked in a muffin tin which gives them a perfect two-bite shape!
These vegan gluten free brownies are so simple to make and so delicious. You will amaze yourself at how much the taste and texture is similar to the traditional fudge brownies, however, these are sans refined flour, eggs and dairy. Ive been working on a gluten free brownie recipe for quite some time, so I am beyond pleased with hoe these turned out. Not only me, but I've had excellent reviews from for those that have a serious gluten intolerance...they tell me these were made for them! These are one of my favourite things to make for their ease of creation, simplicity, fudgey texture and chocolatey flavour. I mean, who doesn't love a good chocolate brownie?
These brownies are baked in a muffin tin to help keep their shape; often cutting into gluten free baked goods leads to crumbs everywhere...so take out the middle man, in this case, the traditional square brownie pan, and PRESTO, no crumbs. You'll be surprised how dense and moist these gluten free brownies really are, they're not crummy at all, no pun intended.
