Step 1
Break the *dark chocolate* into small pieces and add the butter or coconut oil. Melt together using a double boiler or by heating in the microwave in short pulses, stirring well.
Step 2
Beat the *eggs* for a couple of minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture, rice flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener if desired. You can also add *chocolate chips* or nuts at this stage.
Step 3
Mix everything well and form small balls from the chocolate mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, slightly flattening each ball.
Step 4
Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, no longer.
Step 5
Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy your delicious *healthy brownie cookies*.
Servings
Equipment
Use different sizes for various ingredients to avoid cross-contamination.
A whisk is sufficient, but an electric mixer helps achieve a fluffier egg mixture faster.
A double boiler is ideal for melting chocolate evenly. If you use a microwave, remember to stir between short intervals to prevent burning.
Line it with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze and to keep your brownies from sticking.
Helps in mixing the batter thoroughly without leaving any lumps.
Variations
Faq
- How do I know if my brownies are done baking?
Watch for the edges to start pulling away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can use almond flour or oat flour as an alternative, but it might slightly change the texture.
- Why did my brownies turn out too dry?
This can happen if they are overbaked. Ensure you only bake them for about 15 minutes and check for doneness earlier if needed.
- Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruit can add an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- What's the best way to store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate them to extend freshness.
- How can I make my brownies more fudgy?
Increase the chocolate and slightly decrease the flour to enhance the fudginess. You might need to adjust the baking time as well.
