Description

These healthy buckwheat brownies are made with buckwheat flour and sweetened with coconut sugar (refined sugar free).  They're rich and fudgy - a delicious gluten free and dairy free dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour (30g)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa power (22g) sifted, spooned & leveled
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (95g)
  • 1/3 cup palm shortening, melted (or butter)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (60-85% dark)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.  (I used a 9x5 inch loaf pan, but 8x4 inch works too.)
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, cocoa powder and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, shortening, egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until well combined.
  5. Fold the melted chocolate into the batter and mix until combined.
  6. Spread the batter into your lined loaf pan.
  7. Place the brownies in your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  8. After baking, let the brownies cool in the pan to room temperature.  Make sure they are fully cooled before cutting.  Personally, I love letting the brownies sit overnight in the fridge before cutting (they have a fudgier texture).
