Gluten Free Coconut Flour Brownies Recipe

This recipe is for all you folks who are avoiding gluten.  Maybe you think it's bad for your gut or maybe when you eat gluten you have an allergic reaction.  For whatever reason you're avoiding gluten, you shouldn't have to deprive yourself from eating brownies.  I mean who doesn't love a nice piece of gluten free, thin, dense, chocolate cake!  You can even take it one step further and top it with some protein ice cream!

This is an adaptation of a few recipes I have found while scouring the internet.  I like this one because it doesn't have a ton of ingredients, and let's be honest, any recipe with more than 10 ingredients scares me. So here you have it, a gluten free brownie recipe with coconut flour.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup coconut oil - melted
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup pure cane sugar (organic if you so choose)
• 1/4 cup milk  - at SPSD we throw down with whole milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut flour

Directions:

1. Crank the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix melted coconut oil and cocoa powder in a sauce pan over medium heat until smooth
3. With a whisk, mix the eggs, sugar, milk, and salt
4. Whisk in the cocoa mixture - don't over-mix
5. Fold in the coconut flour until combined
6. Dump batter into a greased 8x8-inch square baking dish - scrape with spatula then lick it
7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
