Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies

I know I’ve told you guys about my reason for gluten-free baking lately.  I had (notice the past tense here) gluten-free flours and wanted to use them up.  So I did…and now I wish I had more.

 

But I suppose I’ll settle for regular ol’ gluten-laden flour instead.

 

These are seriously addictive and, I’ll admit, a little crumbly because of the coconut flour.  If you have another flour like brown rice flour then that might help, although I won’t pretend to be an expert here.  All I know is that these tasted amazing and were laced with coconuty flavor and deep, dark, riiiiiiiiiiiich chocolate flavor.  Not for the faint of heart!

 

I like these because they utilize cocoa powder, which is a staple in our house.  I can’t keep chocolate around our house (prepared chocolate) because it disappears too quickly.

 

We’ll blame Nate for that (although I can’t totally guarantee that it’s only him…).

FUDGY GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES

  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 5 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  In a small saucepan over medium heat mix together the cocoa powder, vegetable oil, coconut oil and sugars until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.  Set aside and let cool for about 10 minutes.  In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder and sea salt.  Lightly whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then transfer them, whisking constantly, into the cocoa mixture.  Once the eggs are incorporated pour the cocoa mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Pour the batter into an 8-inch pan sprayed with nonstick spray.  Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Let cool completely before cutting into squares…or don’t.  My personal preference was to just eat it with a spoon 🙂

Y’all, I love gluten and am so glad that I can eat it without side effects…but these brownies may be a staple in our house for many moons now!

    These look super fudgy. I’ve been playing around with coconut flour and find it absorbs a lot of liquid and needs eggs to hold whatever you’re making together. I’m a big fan of almond flour in gluten-free baking too.

      you know, i’m not really sure on the other gluten free flours. brown rice flour might be a good one, but i’ve never baked with it so i’m not totally sure how it would work! i say try what you have…i’m sure it’ll still taste great!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
