Flourless Walnut Brownies (gluten-free, low-carb)
A delicious flourless chocolate brownie made with cocoa powder and a little cornstarch.
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup cane sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9x9 pan, place a foil paper on top, and grease the foil paper as well. I just used Coconut Spray to grease.
- On low heat, add coconut oil.
- Once it starts to melt, add the chocolate chips.
- Stir until melted, creamy and smooth. Turn off the stove.
- Add the sugar. Mix well using an electric mixer so the batter is not grainy.
- Add 1 egg at a time. Mix well.
- Now add the cocoa powder and cornstarch. Mix, but do not over mix.
- Add the walnuts. Gently stir.
- This is what you should have.
- Pour batter into foiled tray.
- Into the oven for 30 minutes. Once done, notice the top will be grainy. Once cool, cut into 16 squares.
Notes
* For a crinkly top, you may try one or more of the following:
use white sugar instead of turbinado brown sugar (perhaps the brown sugar is too grainy).
beat the batter longer until it is smooth and thick.
