So I’ve got a wonderful gluten free brownie recipe here here which uses arrowroot powder, which you can find by clicking on this link. Because we are girls and these unexplainable things happen when it comes to chocolate, both my dear mother and I were craving these Brownies after going to a spinning class together (cute right 😊).

We decided to satisfy this sweet tooth and all I needed to get from the store was arrowroot powder, which my mother hadn’t found in a while. Recently opened near my home however, was an organic shop branch where I knew only held the arrowroot powder. To my disappointment, I found out that their supplier discontinued carrying the powder. 😞 OH WELL, WHAT TO DO?

Well, I’ll tell you what. Use another flour…like almond flour!! Which is what I did and ended up being super popular amongst the fam and coworkers.

Ingredients:

350 Grams of Dark Chocolate for Baking

15 Table Spoons of Coconut Oil

2 Cups of Coconut Sugar

6 eggs

3 Teaspoons of Vanilla Essence

2 Cups of Almond Flour

6 Table Spoons of Cocoa Powder

1 1/2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda

3/4 Teaspoon Salt

2 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Melt the coconut oil and chocolate in a pan continuously stirring and set aside to cool down

In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and eggs until it has combined

Add in the vanilla essence and mix it in

Take your sugar/egg mixture and slowly whisk it into your chocolate. You will notice the consistency of the mixture will thicken

In a separate bowl add in your other dry ingredients (almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt), give them a stir

Pour your chocolate mixture into your dry ingredients and combine well. You can use a hand mixer here so it’s quicker and easier.

Fold in your chocolate chips and pour into your baking pan. I like to use the non-stick silicone ones as the brownie comes out so nicely once cooled; otherwise just remember to either grease your pan or line it.

Stick into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 mins or until the center doesn’t jiggle too much and the tooth pick comes out slightly covered from the gooey center
