Hooray! Finally, I found a keeper! New to gf baking. I didn't have unsweetened chocolate, so I reduced the sugar by a 1/4 c, and added 1/2 tsp psyllium for bulk. I'm also pleased that this recipe doesn't have a 1/2 dz eggs in it. I did have to bake it longer than 25 min. 30 min was perfect. Ty!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!I made one after your recipe than I wanted to know what happens if I take coconut cream instead of coconut oil.And it was sooooo delicious.Even more fudgy!God bless!
I added some sugar and some apple sauce and worked fantastic , thank you so much! I found coconut flour difficult to use after I bought it, now I know that at least it can all turn into brownies! :)
Can’t wait to make this one with coconut flour. My husband loved your almond flour brownies. Thanks for sharing. Your recipes are easy to follow. Thx for your tips as well. I have come to love baking since lockdown:)
The batter was delicious. I'm just waiting for them to bake and I'll try them tomorrow. I use powdered stevia which is super sweet so I may have to adjust the sweetener a little on the next batch because I also used 72% chocolate bits. I also added chopped pecans and almond extract to offset the sweetness. I hope they're good. 🤞
I hope it turns out well for you. I am not familiar with powdered stevia. When I use drops its usually just 2-3 drops per servings. So I can see that you would need very little for the brownies
Made them yesterday, put into the fridge and tested today. They are delicious but I couldn’t help myself and added a little bit of baking soda in the butter and they came out okay little bit cakey but yet fantastic as if bought from a fancy bakery. If you could please explain how this works without baking powder and baking soda. I will try next time.
Glad you like them! Baking powder and soda are leaving agents to raise and aerate the batter. This is not usually a texture we want with brownies. That lightness is was gives a cakey texture. Whereas brownies we usually like more dense and fudgy. Coconut flour already has a somewhat spongey texture, so I don't add a leavening agent to not encourage that aerated texture even more
Yes white sugar will work. Light olive oil may be fine. But I believe extra virgin will have too strong a flavor. If you don't want to use coconut oil you can also use melted butter (if dairy is ok) or other mild tasting vegetable oil
I have not tried this with liquid sweetener, but since brownies should be gooey anyway I think it would work. Be sure to use less than the sugar amount though. Because honey is denser, by volume it is sweeter than granulated sugar
I am not familiar with Equal sweetener but if it has similar sweetness as sugar and is suitable for baking, then it should work just fine for these brownies
You can but I found the texture was better, more fudgy, with melted chocolate. My almond flour brownie recipe is very similar. There I use 1/2 cup cocoa powder instead of chocolate. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/6-xp-itKBtk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks,for great video ❤️,how many grams is your cup please?As,I don't know how to measure correctly all ingredients,as I don't know your cup size-in grams or ml?Thank you very much!
First time I've seen a brownie mix without any cocoa powder, is it cos the amount of chocolate used.? Also any tips to make these more a protein brownie with my whey protein powder? Thanks
Yes since there is baking chocolate in here, it gives the brownies a rich deep chocolate flavor. Coconut flour baked goods can easily be dry, for that reason I am not using cocoa powder for these brownies as that could make them even drier. You could try replacing some of the coconut flour with protein powder.
No not necessarily. Brownies are supposed to be gooey. Did you chill before cutting? Usually they should set enough in the fridge to be able to make clean cuts
You can try with 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. They won't be quite as fudgy. I find that with coconut flour (which can be very drying) melted chocolate really gives the best brownie texture
I recommend a light flavored or neutral oil. Light olive oil can work (extra virgin will be too strong) or avocado or vegetable oil. Also melted butter
I am sorry it didn't work out for you. Before I can help you can you tell me what exactly didn't turn out right? Was it too dry, too gooey? You didn't like the flavor?
Thanks for noticing. I didn't realize but I misspoke on the video. It is 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Nothing wrong if only 1/4 tsp is used. And if using table salt which has smaller granules, 1/4 tsp is better actually.
I am not using any because I want the brownies to be rich and fudgy. With a leavening agent there is a risk of ending up with a fluffy, cake-like texture. Of course you could always add a little (1/2-1 teaspoon) if you think you will prefer them that way
I just put them in the oven and I’m waiting for them to be done. The consistency and color looks so different from yours so I’m worried they won’t turn out 😧 the only ingredient that was different from yours was that I used granulated stevia so I can’t imagine what I did wrong. They might be fine. I’ll update when they’re done! 🤞
I use 1/2 cup cocoa powder in other brownie recipes of this size. Though I am not sure how the powder will interact with the coconut flour. The batter may be too dry. I would start with 1/4 cup of coconut flour and then slowly add more only if needed.
@@Leelalicious lol makes so much sense lol thank you lol my brownies came out like cake that night to I was irritated 😆that’s why I get for not listening!!
That is because you are converting a weight measurement to a volume measurement. So it depends on the shape your chocolate is in. If using regular sized chocolate chips (not minis not chunks) it's about 3/4 cup. I usually use an unsweetened baking chocolate bar where each square is labeled as 1/4 oz. and the whole bar is 8 oz. So I know I need 16 square or half of the package.
Brownies made. Very good flavor but next time less coffee powder and less sweetener. You guys in America use too much sugar and when you substitute you have a tendency to use too much sweetener too. But otherwise it’s very good. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Greetings back from a German living in Mexico 😁 but you are right the brownies are based on an American recipe and taste buds. And I agree that when using sweetener even if it says it’s a 1:1 replacement I often find that I need less of it. Thanks for watching and making my recipe.
I am sorry to hear. Did you try coconut flour in any other recipes? Did they also have that sharp flavor you didn't like? What sweetener did you use? Some alternative sweeteners can have an unpleasant aftertaste
Sorry to hear it didn't work out as expected for you. To be honest, I have no experience with pure erythritol and how it compares to granulated sugar. I usually use Lakanto sweetener with monkfruit + erythritol that has a 1:1 conversion ratio
I also like weighing my ingredients. Growing up in Europe, kitchen scales are a normal thing. However, most of my readers/viewers are in the US and are used to cups, so I am providing that as the main unit. But if you go to my blog post (link above in description or here again leelalicious.com/coconut-flour-brownies/#wprm-recipe-container-64974) you can see that there I provided the option to convert to metric ingredients with a simple click
I tried it today for the first time and it’s really excellent but with butter instead I didn’t have coconut oil and I took your advice I used Lindt dark chocolate 99% amaaaazing. I ate one piece but I needed more 😢 but impossible. It’s healthy buttt you know if I eat 3 or 4 pieces it’s not gonna be healthy anymore 🫣
girl i love your coconut flour recipes. KEEP IT UP
Thank you so much 😊 I have more coconut flour recipes coming very soon
Agreed!

Glad you like them!
I added some sugar and some apple sauce and worked fantastic , thank you so much! I found coconut flour difficult to use after I bought it, now I know that at least it can all turn into brownies! :)
Haha yes nothing wrong with using it all on brownies. Do check out my other coconut flour recipes though if you want to try something different
It tastes like heaven before even bake them 😍
Haha! Yes - isn't it like fudge frosting?
Great video and recipes!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊

We loved them! Thnx for the recipe! We put walnuts on top, because I didn’t have pecans. So good! 🤗
Walnuts are great too!! here I have the opposite problem where pecans are everywhere but walnuts are hard to come by
Am making them right now 😊😊thank you so much
Hope you enjoy
Thank you for the recipe 😊
You are very welcome!

For the sugar is that 1 and1/4 cup?

Im just looking for a recipe cuz I cant eat gluten anymore. So can I use regular white sugar? And can I also use olive oil instead of coconut?
Yes white sugar will work. Light olive oil may be fine. But I believe extra virgin will have too strong a flavor. If you don't want to use coconut oil you can also use melted butter (if dairy is ok) or other mild tasting vegetable oil
Hi instead of the granulated sugar, can we add honey ? Tha KS regards from Greece 🇬🇷
I have not tried this with liquid sweetener, but since brownies should be gooey anyway I think it would work. Be sure to use less than the sugar amount though. Because honey is denser, by volume it is sweeter than granulated sugar
@@Leelalicious Hi ok thanks for your tips, will give it a go 😚
Wow! Thanks for sharing, will definitely try this one. Can we also use olive oil or sunflower oil instead of coconut oil?🥰
Yes you can use a different oil. I recommend a light or flavorless oil. With olive oil chose light olive oil to not overpower the flavor
Will the texture be affected if I use equal good sticks? Love you recipes!❤️
I am not familiar with Equal sweetener but if it has similar sweetness as sugar and is suitable for baking, then it should work just fine for these brownies
I can’t eat coco but what if carob was mixed into coconut oil before mixing would that helps?
Maybe? I don't have experience with carob powder but I know it is used in some alternative brownie recipes
Yessss i WILL try this!!!
Let me know how it goes
Hi, this looks so good. Can I use any cooking oil instead of coconut oil?
Yes that should work
If we add the instant coffee can it be dry or it has to be mixed with water ?
Just add it dry. It will dissolve with the wet ingredients in the mix
My pan is a bit larger than what you used here. Can I just double the recipe and bake it in my large pan and add some more minutes baking?
Yes you can double the recipe for a larger pan. Or make thinner brownies (1 recipe) and bake for shorter amount of time
can I substitute the coconut oil with butter or vegetable oil?
Yes, melted/soft butter or vegetable oil in the same amount should work well
@@Leelalicious Thank you for the timely response!!
Great video,I really enjoyed watching it 🥰 I'll have to try your recipe 😄
I love your channel,keep up the awesome work 🥰 Have a lovely day!
Thank you so much ❤️ Just had a look at your amazing channel too 😋

Great recipe, when I cut through it it was still a bit gooey and was sticking to the knife. Does it mean it's still raw?
Thanks
No not necessarily. Brownies are supposed to be gooey. Did you chill before cutting? Usually they should set enough in the fridge to be able to make clean cuts
@@Leelalicious i'll keep that in mind thank you!
If I use a semi sweet chocolate would the sugar amount change ?
I would reduce the sugar amount to about 2/3 cups I think
Is it OK to use stevia instead of the coconut sugar?
It depends what form your stevia is in. I don't think stevia drops will work, since the recipe depends on the bulk of the sweetener in order to work
Can you substitute eggs?
Flax or chia egg substitute may work here though I haven't tried. But since brownies have a dense, fudgy texture anyway I think this should work
Hi instead of unsweetened chocolate can I add organic cacao powder? Can I know the quantity?
You can try with 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. They won't be quite as fudgy. I find that with coconut flour (which can be very drying) melted chocolate really gives the best brownie texture
Can I also add rice flour to the mixture?
Maybe? I haven't tried that
Can 3 eggs simply replaced by flax egg (3 tbsp of flaxseed powder and 7½ tbsp of water)?
You can try. Usually flax egg makes denser baked goods. We don't want fluffy brownies anyway, so I think it may work fine here
yummy 😋
Thank you ☺
What if you don't have coconut oil? Can you use olive oil?
I recommend a light flavored or neutral oil. Light olive oil can work (extra virgin will be too strong) or avocado or vegetable oil. Also melted butter

@@healthhollow7218 How did they turn out?
@@Leelalicious they were very very sweet! Still delicious though! I would definitely make them again 🥰 thank you so much!
What if I obly have unsweetened hershey cocoa powder? What will be the measurements?

Yes that will work
Can i use flax eggs instead of eggs to make vegan version...?
I haven't tried it, but I think since this is a dense, fudge brownie it should work just fine with flax eggs
Baking powder??
Not needed in brownie recipes. The goal is a dense fudgy texture. Not fluffy chocolate cake
@@Leelalicious lol makes so much sense lol thank you lol my brownies came out like cake that night to I was irritated 😆that’s why I get for not listening!!
How many cups is 4 ounces of chocolate? I Googled it. Some says 1/2 cup, others say 3/4 cup. Im confused.n

Thank you for your reply! I'm using a big block of unsweetened chocolate bar so I need to chop it into chunks.
Does it turn great if I use honey instead of sugar?
Yes I think for brownies liquid sweetener should work well. Use about half the amount though for similar sweetness levels
Can I substitute the coconut oil with anything I was stupid enough to forget it at the store 🤦🏾♀️
Melted butter or another cooking oil (mild flavored) will work just fine
@@Leelalicious Thank you

I dont have coconut oil.....
You can use melted butter or vegetable oil
I followed your recipe 100%, brownies turned out way too sweet. So sweet that we can't eat them and will most likely throw them away. You owe me $20.
Mine didn’t turn out good :( not sure why but it had a sharp taste, I didn’t like them at all, maybe coconut is not for me ...
I made this recipe, even used the scale. I use Lakanto Monk fruit, but it didn’t turn out at all. I’m wondering what I did wrong?
I am sorry to hear. Did you try coconut flour in any other recipes? Did they also have that sharp flavor you didn't like? What sweetener did you use? Some alternative sweeteners can have an unpleasant aftertaste
I made these today and used 90% chocolate and erythritol instead of sugar. 250g erythritol is way too much.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out as expected for you. To be honest, I have no experience with pure erythritol and how it compares to granulated sugar. I usually use Lakanto sweetener with monkfruit + erythritol that has a 1:1 conversion ratio
No need of raising agent ..
No need for brownies. We want these to be rich and fudgy. Otherwise you run the risk of ending up with a fluffy, cake-like texture

Can butter be used instead of coconut oil?
Yes. If you don’t need this to be dairy free melted butter makes a great replacement
