I made this tonight except I used dark chocolate powder. And I use Lily’s chocolate chips. I wish I could show you a picture. It’s absolutely amazing. I will make this again and again. Thank you.
Yay...I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Can I ask a small favor? Could you leave this review on this recipe on my website? Then others will know what to expect :) I appreciate it! Here's a quick link... gentletummy.com/best-gluten-free-brownies-naturally-sweetened-almond-flour-recipe/#recipe
I'm so excited for you to try these! I promise you won't miss all the processed sugar and white flour in traditional brownies :) Let me know how they turn out for you!
Definitely going to try making these. I love that you have cut down on the sugar and swapping the white flour for almond flour to make a healthier version for us chocoholics .
so i hit like right after watching video cause course, i really "liked it' sure looked yummy!! I happen to have most of the ingredients! i was a bit short on my almond flour so replaced what was missing with coconut flour ! I didn't have that coconut sugar, so compensated with swerve brown, i added a few walnuts to the mix rather than more choc chips! And i wish to GOD there was a "love" button" on that list because WOW! it was like beyond my expectations!!! It's just exploding with great taste! thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent!! 😍😘😊
Oh my goodness Joanne, I'm so excited you love these as much as I do!! Those are great substitution ideas! Can I ask a small favor? Could you share a rating and even 'copy and pasting' what you wrote here to this recipe on my website?

I haven't tried it without the almond butter, but I'm sure it would work :) Let me know how it turns out. You could definitely substitute peanut butter.
That is a great question! I personally store them in the fridge in an airtight container within a day of baking them. But they can be left out on the counter on a platter for one day and in an airtight container for several days.
Hi Sharon, thank you! I haven't tried it yet, but you could try a ground flaxseed egg substitute. Here are some instructions I found online... To substitute ground flaxseed for 1 egg in baking, you can follow these simple steps: Measure out 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed for each egg you want to replace. In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Mix well until the mixture becomes thick and gel-like. This forms a flaxseed "egg." Let the mixture sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to thicken further. This step is crucial as it helps the flaxseed mixture bind and function more like an egg. Once the flaxseed mixture has thickened, it is ready to be used as an egg substitute in your baking recipe. Incorporate the flaxseed "egg" into your recipe as you would with a regular egg. Add it to the wet ingredients and mix well. It's important to note that using flaxseed as an egg substitute may alter the texture and flavor of your baked goods slightly. Flaxseed adds moisture and binding properties but doesn't provide the same leavening ability as eggs. Therefore, it works best in recipes where eggs are used as a binding agent rather than for leavening.
I'd love to try this recipe. Due to a coconut allergy, I can't use coconut sugar. If I want to substitute it with raw turbinado sugar, would that be a 1-1 substitute? Thank you 🙏
Hi Hanaa! I haven't tried subbing turbinado sugar, but here is what I found doing a quick Google search: "You can substitute 1 cup of turbinado sugar for 1 cup of coconut sugar (1:1 ratio). Turbinado is not as moist as regular brown sugar, so its texture is more similar to coconut sugar."
what if i wanted to have no sugar besides honey and or maple. is there a version where I add more maple syrup or add some honey and avoid the coconut sugar?
That is a very good question :) I haven't tested this yet, but I would omit the coconut sugar, increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup, and increase the almond flour to 1 cup. You could make a 1/2 batch to see if you like the result before committing to a full batch :)
@@gentletummy I’m going to make them tomorrow and your delicious strawberry donuts!! Will keep you posted. And I also made the ice cream as well. I will try it tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.

Have a great day!
Haha Dalila :) You will love these! I'm so glad I can share (mostly) guilt-free chocolate indulgence :)
i can't wait to try this recipe, love that it is healthier than the conventional brownies but does not lack the texture and taste!

Can you leave out the almond butter? Your recipes sound great! Can't wait to try it!
I haven't tried it without the almond butter, but I'm sure it would work :) Let me know how it turns out. You could definitely substitute peanut butter.
@@gentletummy Thank you! I will let you know how it works. ❤️
I'll eat all the crusts!
Agreed! No brownie piece should ever go to waste...haha :)
Should these brownies be put in the refrigerator after they are cooked and cooled or is it alright just to have them on the countertop. Thanks.
That is a great question! I personally store them in the fridge in an airtight container within a day of baking them. But they can be left out on the counter on a platter for one day and in an airtight container for several days.
Thank you

@@zatara11 fantastic! :)
It works with no coconut sugar. I made the changes you recommended and it works. I put 1/4 tsp of stevia (could of done more).
Thank you!!!
I made this but it was too salty. I’m going to try again but with no salt.
Thank you so much for the feedback!! Please let me know how they turn out with less salt :)
@@gentletummy I’m going to make them tomorrow and your delicious strawberry donuts!! Will keep you posted. And I also made the ice cream as well. I will try it tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.
Have you ever tried making sweet potato brownies?
I haven't yet, but they are on my list!! I LOVE using sweet potatoes as a natural sweetener :)
If you cut your brownies with a plastic knife you never have to wipe it.
Hi Roger, thank you for the tip!! I think I may need to make a batch of brownies today so I can test it out :)
