Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if GF flour blend already contains)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder (sub cacao powder if preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 overripe medium-sized bananas
  • cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • cup coconut sugar
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed whisked with 3 tablespoons water and set aside for 10-15 minutes)
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened, plain soy milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line an 8x8” square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the flour, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together well.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Then add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, flax egg, soy milk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Sift the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Add ¾ cup of the chocolate chips and fold into the batter.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips on top and bake for 22-27 minutes.
  • Leave in the pan for about 10 minutes and then carefully grab the sides of the parchment to transfer to a wire rack to cool. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store the brownies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Note that they will become more fudge-like after being stored in the refrigerator. If you'd like, you can warm them up in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
