A tad of crunch on the outside, gooey melted chocolate on the inside, and the thick, moist pumpkin that gives it all a great consistency. It's yummy, easy to make, gluten free, vegan, and as close as you can get to healthy when it comes to brownies!

Recipe type: Confection
Serves: 12-15 brownies
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cup brown rice flour
  • ⅜ cup coconut flour (or 6 tbsp)
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 can organic pumpkin (15 oz)
  • ½ cup cashew milk
  • ¼ tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegan honey
  • ⅓ + ¼ cup chocolate chips (or 9 tbsp)
Instructions
  1. Let me start by saying the pan I use to make brownies is fairly small - about 8 in x 6 in x 2 in. Why? I don't know. It makes enough brownies for me to eat in one sitting. Get bigger brownie pan is on my to do list. So if you are smarter than me and already have a larger pan, you will probably want to double this recipe so you have enough batter.
  2. Start by mixing 1¼ cups of brown rice flour, ⅜ cup (or 6 tbsp) of coconut flour, ⅛ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp cinnamon in a large bowl. The coconut flour can contain clumps sometimes, so make sure you get those out.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of cashew milk and ¼ tsp of apple cider vinegar together and let sit 5 minutes to create vegan buttermilk. Once it's ready, pour the mixture in with the dry ingredients.
  4. Add 1 can (15 oz) of organic pumpkin, ½ tbsp of melted vegan butter, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp vegan honey and blend thoroughly. Feel free to stick with one sweetener (just maple syrup or just brown sugar, etc) instead of using multiple ones. Fold in ⅓ + ¼ cup chocolate chips (or 9 tbsp). Grease your baking pan (mine was about 8x6x2 inches) with some vegan butter or coconut oil. Pour batter in and smooth over with a spoon.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes until the brownies are brown along the edges. Let them cool for a couple of minutes. Best served warm with a cold glass of non-dairy milk, tea, or coffee. Store in an airtight container. Variety: swirl vegan cream cheese into batter before baking!
