Brownies (skinny) gluten free

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 8×8″ baking dish with coconut oil/non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together applesauce, coconut oil, vanilla extract and cocoa powder. The mixture will be dry and clumpy. Scoop the cocoa mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer and add in the egg and honey. Use the whisk attachment to vigorously whisk together the cocoa mixture until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk together until well combined (the batter will likely look a little lumpy from the almond meal/flour).

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and use a spoon to spread the batter evenly to all corners. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing (like that’s gonna happen).
