High in fiber and gluten-free, coconut flour is made from ground and fried coconut meat. It can be a great substitute for regular flour (but not always in equal amounts) and adds a little coconutty flavour.
Yields 16 brownies.
ingredients
directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Butter the foil.
Whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the coconut flour mixture, and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack. Use the foil overhang to help lift them out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
