 Attention chocolate lovers!! Hello Dolly meets chewy fudgy brownies! 

~ Gluten & Dairy Free~

12-16 Servings 

Cook time: 25 minutes

Prep time: 15 minutes

​

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp dairy-free butter*

2 large eggs

1 tsp gluten-free vanilla 

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free flour

Sprinkle of sea salt 

1 cup dairy-free chocolate chunks

​

Garnish: (optional)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

​

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using parchment paper, line a square 8x8 (or 9x9) baking dish.

2) Stir the sugar and dairy-free butter together. Add eggs and vanilla. Then stir in cocoa. Next add baking powder and gluten-free flour, sprinkle of salt, and a cup of dairy-free chocolate chunks. Stir ingredients together, do not over mix or brownies will become cakey. 

​

3) Pour batter into a lined baking pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded coconut and 1/4 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips on top. Bake for 25 minutes. These brownies are also great without shredded coconut. 

​

4) Remove from the oven and let brownies sit in the pan until cool.

Tips:
*For vegan butter, I have used Earth Balance and Becel Vegan Butter and they both work great. 
 
Use your favourite gluten-free flour. I have tried Bob Mills 1-to-1 GF Baking Flour as well as brown and white rice flour. They all taste great! Bob's Red Mill 1:1 works well because it has xanthan gum already in it, so the brownies stick together better. 

Don't over-stir brownies!

Eggs are important in this recipe.
