BEST EVER CHOCOLATE BROWNIES RECIPE | Rich and Fudgy Gluten Free Brownies | Le Bon Baker

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor and reduces saturated fat.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: honey

Stevia reduces calories while honey adds moisture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: whole wheat flour

Almond flour adds protein while whole wheat is more economical.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa nibs

Dark chocolate has less sugar, cocoa nibs are less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine butter and chocolate chips, stirring to mix them evenly.

Cover the bowl with cling wrap and microwave for a couple of minutes, then stir and microwave again until melted (total of about 5 minutes).

In a separate large bowl, add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and beat until well combined.

Add almond meal to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Once the butter and chocolate are melted, whisk them together until smooth.

Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined and smooth.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking tray.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, monitoring closely.

Check doneness by poking with a skewer; it should come out with some crumbles and a bit of moisture, not completely wet.

Let the brownies cool for a few minutes, then refrigerate to set further.

Remove the brownies from the tin and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Optionally drizzle with more chocolate or icing sugar before serving.
