With crunchy edges and fudgy centers, these brownies are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder (use carob powder for strict AIP compliance)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar (or coconut sugar for Paleo-friendly sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredient Notes:
Use high-quality cacao or carob powder for the best flavor. Ensure eggs are at room temperature to blend smoothly with the batter. Melt coconut oil gently to avoid overheating.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine cassava flour, cacao powder, baking powder, sea salt, white sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well-blended and free of clumps.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the dry mixture. Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and glossy. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
  4. Prepare Batter: Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan using a spatula. Spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake: Bake for 25 minutes at 325°F. The brownies will still be soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. This step is essential to prevent them from falling apart.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
Serve these brownies on their own or pair them with dairy-free vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt or a drizzle of melted chocolate can elevate their flavor even further.

Tips & Tricks:

  • For extra fudginess, chill the brownies in the fridge for an hour before serving.
  • Avoid overbaking; remove them from the oven as soon as the edges are set but the center is slightly underdone.

Storage & Reheating Instructions:
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual squares wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat refrigerated brownies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to restore their fresh-out-of-the-oven texture.
