    Extra Fudgy Vegan Brownies (Gluten Free)

    Aug 26, 2020 • Chocolate, Follicular Phase, Luteal Phase, Menstrual Phase, Ovulatory Phase, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    The world is lacking PROPER brownies.

    No one likes a cake-y brownie. If they did, they would eat chocolate cake! You know?! These Extra Fudgy Vegan Brownies are flourless, gooey and super chocolate-y. I’ve made them 4 times already to get the recipe just right and it is absolute PERFECTION. I mean it.

    You are going to FREAK! You may even be mad at me because of how yummy they are. Sorry not sorry!

    The key ingredients are melted chocolate and a teeny bit of espresso/coffee. Or maybe even king coffee?!! Yep you could totally make some king coffee brownies. Talk about magical. I prefer the espresso though for that robust taste that really magnifies the chocolate flavor. Are you drooling yet?

    One other thing – these decadent brownies could not be easier! Start my making your flax egg and whisking the dry ingredients together. Next you will melt the coconut oil and chocolate together (I use a microwave because I can’t be bothered with another dish) but its totally up to you! Add the almond butter and flax egg to the wet ingredients. Pour over the dry ingredients. Transfer to the parchment-paper lined baking dish and flatten out with your hands. Decorate with extra vegan chocolate chips if you want (I highly recommend 🙂 the bake and devour!

    My favorite treat is a frothy king coffee paired with a fudgy brownie. YUMMMMM. Let me know if you make these in the comments!!!

    Description

    The most decadent (and not cake-y) fudgy vegan and gluten free brownies.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons filtered water

    1 1/2 cups almond flour

    3/4 cup coconut sugar

    1/2 cup raw cacao powder

    1 teaspoon ground espresso (or ground coffee)

    1/4 teaspoon sea salt

    3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted (plus extra chips for topping)

    1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

    1 tablespoon almond butter

    1 teaspoon vanilla


    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 35o degrees F. Line a square baking dish with parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, mix the flax and water together to create a “flax egg”. Set aside for 10 minutes.

    In a large mixing bowl. whisk together the almond flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder, espresso and sea salt.

    In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and chocolate chips together in 30 second increments, mixing in between, until fully melted. Stir in the almond butter. Pour over the dry ingredients. Add the flax egg too. Mix brownie batter together until well combined!

    Transfer the batter to the lined baking dish. Press down with your hands to flatten. Decorate with some vegan chocolate chips!

      These are fabulous! I am new to your site and have already made about 4 or 5 of your recipes. Like the previous comment, I doubled the batch. They are the perfect thing for me when I am craving something chocolate.

      SOOO good! These do not last in my house. I suggest making a double batch. I like using the HU chocolate gems because it makes it easy to just perfectly plop them into the brownies and they taste amazing!

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
