Easy Gluten Free Brownies

 

Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies Recipe

Gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free.

Ingredients:

½ cup (45g) desiccated coconut
⅓ cup (50g) sorghum flour (or rice flour)
¾ cup (115g) rapadura or sugar
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp bi-carb soda
150g dark chocolate (dairy and soy free) - I used Enjoy Life Mega Chunks
½ cup (110g) coconut oil
2 tbsp chia seeds plus 6 tbsps water (or 2 eggs) - I used black chia seeds
2 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

• Heat oven to 170°C
• Prepare baking pan - I use a square pan with a loose base 19cm x 19cm 
• Prepare chia egg if using so it can sit and gel while you prepare the rest of the mix
• Put all dry ingredients except chocolate (and chia seeds if using chia egg) into a food processor or Thermomix and blitz until well combined (10 secs, speed 9 in Thermomix)
• Thermomix: Remove and set aside. Put chocolate into unwashed bowl and blitz 5 secs, speed 9. Add coconut oil and melt 2 mins, 50°C, speed 1. Add all other ingredients and mix 30 secs, speed 4 until thick and glossy
• Regular: Add melted chocolate, melted coconut oil, chia eggs (or eggs) and vanilla to food processor and mix until thick and glossy
• Pour into prepared pan, place in hot oven and cook for 30 minutes or until cooked through
• Remove from oven and leave in the pan to cool for 5 minutes
• Remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely

I've made my brownies and then used an Easter egg cookie cutter to cut them out. I've used some Hopper Natural Food Colours and 100s & 1000s to decorate in various ways. Easter is all about bright, pretty colours so go for it!! You can find all of the Hopper Natural Food colours, sprinkles, 100s & 1000s and pearls here.
