Best Super Fudgey Paleo Brownies
In my eyes, the gooey the brownie the better! I love rich, decadent chocolate brownies and personally don't think a brownie that is cake like should even be allowed to be called a brownie, but that's just me!
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoon tapioca flour
- 5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 12 oz dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- 6 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tsp espresso powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°. Line an 8×8″ metal pan with parchment paper (easiest if you cut a large sheet of parchment paper in half, overlapping the 2 pieces and leave a 3” overhang on the sides)
- Whisk tapioca flour and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl until no lumps remain. Set aside.
- Heat the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring, until melted and smooth. DO NOT bring to a boil!
- Using an electric hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, granulated monk fruit, and coconut sugar on medium high speed in a separate large bowl until light and smooth, about 3–4 minutes.
- Beat in espresso powder, salt and vanilla to combine, then beat in melted chocolate mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated.
- Beat in the tapioca flour mixture to the wet ingredients, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is thick and holds its shape, about 30 seconds.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean*, approximately 20-25 minutes baking time.
Notes
I always slightly underbake these paleo fudgey brownies! If your cake tester comes out with just a bit of batter on it, I consider that to be done. I will cool at room temp for about 10 minutes then allow the brownies to set in the fridge another 10-20 minutes for the ultimate in rich, fudgey texture. I also store these paleo brownies in the fridge so they stay rich and gooey!
