Flourless Fudge Brownies (Grain + Gluten-Free)

Name: Flourless Fudge Brownies (Grain + Gluten-Free)
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 1 egg; 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 1/3 cup maple syrup; 1/2 cup almond butter (can substitute with peanut butter); 2/3 cup canned pumpkin (not canned pumpkin pie filling); 1/4 cup cacao powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips; chopped walnuts

What if we told you that you don’t need to melt chocolate with butter to make brownies?

AND that they can be thrown together in 5 minutes flat using ONE bowl? These fudge brownies are made with simple and wholesome ingredients and are also flourless (not even almond or coconut flour!). For this recipe, we used our favorite chocolate chips from Enjoy Life, because they use all FfL-friendly ingredients.

Erich and I (Kalie) LOVE our movie nights. One evening while snuggled up on the couch, he couldn’t stop talking about chocolate. After a few minutes, I couldn’t stop thinking about it either. Because I didn’t want to miss out on too much of the movie, I got a little creative and threw together these 5 minute soft and fudgy brownies. Needless to say, the pan was finished before the weekend was over and Erich’s been asking for them ever since! I hope you guys love them as much as we do and find some time to bake them over the holiday season.

REAL-food ingredients

When it comes to brownies, we are big proponents of from-scratch, as opposed to box mixes. Packaged versions are generally made with refined sugar, refined flour, hydrogenated fats, additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and flavoring. Some of these ingredients, such as tartrazine, have even been linked to ADHA disorders.

These from-scratch brownies are made with FfL-friendly, REAL food ingredients. They’re far healthier than most commercial mixes because they use less than half the amount of sugar and absolutely no butter or oil. The best part, they’re still bursting with delicious flavor!

How to freeze your brownies

These brownies freeze incredibly well for up to 3 months. Store in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and serve chilled or at room temperature.
