Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies
The most delicious, rich and fudgy brownies, made vegan, gluten-free and fruit-sweetened! Trust me, they may be healthier than regular brownies, but that doesn't stop them from being good.
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter or margarine (or light-tasting oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chopped chocolate and/or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a bread pan with parchement paper or lightly grease with vegan butter/margarine.
- Add the dates, apple sauce, butter and vanilla to a high-speed blender or food processor. Process until smooth. (There may be a few small pieces of dates, this is fine).
- Add the cocoa powder, oat flour, corn starch, baking soda and salt. Process until combined.
- Stir in chocolate or walnuts if desired.
- Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 10-30 minutes. The longer you let it sit, the more it keeps its shape when cut.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge when completely cooled.
Notes
I also tried this recipe using spelt flour with success. You can substitute the oat flour for spelt flour if not looking for a gluten-free recipe. I also tried it using almond flour and millet flour, which were good, but had a softer texture I wasn't fully happy with.
