Gluten Free & Dairy Free Fudge Brownies

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • Brownie Ingredients-
  • 2/3 c. honey or agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 c. melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 c. applesauce
  • 1 c. brown rice flour or almond flour
  • 1/2 c. cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • Chocolate Frosting Ingredients-
  • 1 c. coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 c. cocoa
  • 2/3 c. agave nectar or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla and applesauce until smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and optional salt. Stir to blend. Pour into greased 8x8x2 inch pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until center no longer jiggles and top feels cakey (could take longer depending on your oven temp, altitude, and type of flour. (Some people have reported it's taken 25-30 minutes, but my oven cooked them more quickly.)
  • Cool on a wire rack at least until sides pull away from the edge of the pan before cutting. (Cutting with a plastic knife keeps it from getting crumb-y.)
  • For frosting, whisk cocoa with melted coconut oil until smooth, slowly add syrup whipping with whisk. Let sit at room temperature or in fridge to set for 10-15 minutes before frosting, to bring the coconut oil back to a thicker state. Frost brownies when they’re cool.
