Dark Chocolate Brownies {Gluten, Flour & Bean Free}

I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans.  As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.

A couple warnings:

1. If you are not an extreme chocolate fan, than this brownie is NOT for you. 🙂
2. If you are not a coffee lover, than this brownie is not for you. Because it pairs SUPER WELL with a coffee. 🙂

Did I mention this brownie is:

• GLUTEN FREE
• DAIRY FREE
• SOY FREE
• GRAIN FREE
• REFINED SUGAR FREE

Don’t let that list scare you! These brownies got adult AND kid approved!

Listed below are the particular ingredients I used in this recipe. (You can also check out the SHOP HEALTHY PRODUCTS page for more brands that I use and love!)
