Flourless Double Chocolate Brownies Ingredients

For the Brownies
• Coconut oil – Adds a rich, tropical flavor and helps create a fudgy texture in these flourless double chocolate brownies.
• Chipits semisweet chocolate chips – Provides a luscious chocolatey base; feel free to use dark chocolate chips for a deeper flavor.
• Large eggs – These bind the ingredients together and contribute to the brownies’ moistness; ensure they’re at room temperature for best results.
• Coconut sugar – Offers a hint of caramel flavor while keeping the brownies slightly healthier; brown sugar can be a good substitute.
• Vanilla extract – A must-have for enhancing the chocolate flavor—pure vanilla is always the best choice.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder – Intensifies the chocolate experience; look for a high-quality brand for optimal taste.
• Arrowroot powder – Acts as a thickening agent and gives the brownies their chewy texture; cornstarch can be used as an alternative.
• Salt – Just a pinch elevates the sweetness and balances out the flavors beautifully.

How to Make Flourless Double Chocolate Brownies

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil, allowing for some overhang to make removal easier. Grease the foil lightly and set aside.
Melt chocolate and oil: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut oil and Chipits semisweet chocolate chips. Stir gently until everything is melted and smooth, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
Whip up the eggs: Using either a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the room-temperature eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract together. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and pale, taking about 2 minutes to achieve this fluffy consistency.
Combine chocolate and dry ingredients: Gently add the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and mix until perfectly combined. Lower the mixer speed and sift in the cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, and salt, mixing until you have a thick, smooth batter. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl!
Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly with a greased spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but still a bit fudgy.
Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Once cooled, carefully remove them using the foil overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Finally, cut into squares and enjoy!

Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate or top with shredded coconut for an extra special touch.

Expert Tips for Flourless Double Chocolate Brownies

Room Temperature Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to achieve a fluffy texture that combines easily with the other ingredients.
Cooling Chocolate: Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding it to the eggs. This helps prevent cooking the eggs and keeps the batter smooth.
Don’t Overmix: Once you’ve added the dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to denser brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture.
Testing for Doneness: Baking time may vary, so start checking the center around the 25-minute mark. You’re looking for the brownies to be set but still slightly moist in the middle.
Storing Leftovers: Keep any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Coffee or Espresso: A rich cup of coffee or a shot of espresso pairs wonderfully with chocolate, enhancing its flavors while providing a warm, comforting drink. Enjoying a brownie alongside your favorite brew will make for a satisfying indulgence.
Chocolate Drizzle: A decadent drizzle of melted chocolate over the brownies not only enhances their appearance but adds an extra layer of chocolatey goodness. This simple addition makes every bite even more indulgent.
Macadamia Nuts: Chopped macadamia nuts introduce a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the chocolate and coconut perfectly. Their buttery richness adds yet another layer of flavor, turning a simple brownie into a gourmet treat.
Coconut Flakes: Toasted coconut flakes scattered on top give a lovely texture and amplify the coconut flavor of the brownies. It’s a delightful finishing touch that elevates your dessert experience.

Chocolate Coconut Brownies Recipe FAQs

What is the best way to select coconut oil for these brownies?

Store your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. Just make sure they’re covered to maintain their soft texture!

Can I freeze these flourless double chocolate brownies?

They can stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them overnight in the fridge or at room temperature for a couple of hours.

What are some common problems when baking brownies and how can I avoid them?
One common issue is overbaking, which can lead to dry brownies. To prevent this, start checking the center at around 25 minutes. The brownies should be set but still slightly fudgy in the middle. Another issue is not mixing enough; be sure to mix until everything is just combined but avoid overmixing to retain their fudgy texture.

Are these brownies safe for people with allergies?
When it comes to allergies, these brownies are free from gluten and traditional flour, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. However, they do contain eggs and chocolate, which should be considered if you’re serving anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. If making for someone with allergies, consider using allergy-friendly chocolate chips and egg substitutes like flax eggs.

What’s the best way to tell if my brownies are done baking?
To determine doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies around the 25-minute mark. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly once removed from the oven, giving you that perfect fudgy center!
