My kitchen is a healthy dessert factory!  I have been baking cookies, brownies, blondies and cakes like a crazy woman.  My oven has not had a days rest in over two weeks.  It feels natural to preheat the oven to 350 and whip out my baking pans…  on a daily basis…  oh, how I wish this was my job.

Unlike gluten free cakes, gluten free brownies don’t really have room for a warped or sunken center, and it doesn’t need a light and fluffy texture.  A dense texture and super rich flavor is what you want in a brownie.

These incredibly fudgy brownies are packed with both chocolate and peanut butter flavor, thanks to using two cocoa powders and two sources of peanuts.

Yield: 9 brownies

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9" brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut flour, oat flour, both cocoa powders, baking powder and xanthan gum.
  3. In a large stand mixer bowl with beater attachment, add the egg, erythritol, applesauce, almond milk, stevia and salt. Mix on medium-low speed until combined.
  4. Add the dry to wet one spoonful at a time. Whip the batter on high speed for ~30 seconds.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread to the edges and flatten the surface. Bake for ~30 minutes, or until surface is firm. Transfer brownies to a wire cooling rack and slice when completely cool.

    I am for sure going to have to try this recipe out. I’ve made simple black bean brownies but these ones look so good!

    I am for sure going to have to make these. I’ve made simple black bean gluten free brownies which were good, but these ones look so delicious!

    These brownies look fantastic! I have a bag of peanut flour that has been feeling quite neglected lately, so I’ll have to give these a try. Hopefully a flax/chia egg will work for a vegan variation!

    What else can you use instead of Truvia? Check out Bruce Bradley’s blog. It appears that Truvia is nowhere near natural. He has a very interesting article on it. Great recipe. Look forward to your response.

    Oops- wrong recipe! I think it was your chocolate brownie that used 10 packets of Truvia.

    Hi Nikki, you can use any other packeted sweetener you like (I also like stevia packets). Truvia is in fact natural… it may not be raw or unprocessed, but it is natural. Plus, it is a much better choice than Splenda, Sweet n Low, Equal, aspartame, etc. Hope you like the chocolate pb protein bar recipe!
