Coconut Flour Breakfast Brownies

Ahem.

Brownies.

An entire tray.

For breakfast.

 

And no, they don’t taste like cardboard. They are amazing.

Oh come on, you’re sold right? (I mean seriouly, look at that fudginess!)

Coconut Flour Breakfast Brownies

Although they taste just like brownies, these are a perfectly acceptable breakfast food. They are also gluten free and vegan to boot. And if you are eating these for breakfast, you can eat the entire tray. You can start jumping up and down now.

1/2c. coconut flour

1t. baking powder

1/2t. salt

1/3c. cocoa powder

1 banana, thouroughly mashed

1/2c. sugar or 6T NuNaturals stevia baking blend (I like it with stevia, but I know some people are sensitive to it, so just use sugar if you don’t want  to use stevia, but then I wouldn’t eat the entire tray. ;))

3/4c. plus 2T almond milk

1/4c. chips of choice, optional

Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl. In a seperate bowl, mix together banana and stevia or sugar and add to flour mixture. Now add the almond milk, adding slighly more or less as needed, and stir to combine, but don’t overmix.

Now pour into a well greased or foil lined (makes cleanup a dream) 8X8 baking dish and toss on top if using.

Which picture is better?

Bake at at 350F for 50 minutes or until a toothick inserted in the middle comes out pretty clean. (Don’t worry, I sprinkled on the chips after I snapped this pic.)

Inhale.

I was serious before. This entire tray of brownies is about 400 calories (if using stevia baking blend, but if using stevia drops, it’s only 300!) This is the perfect Ashley-sized breakfast, but if i were baking it for my own breakfast, I would only eat half and either refigerate the leftovers for later or give the other to my mama. Of course, you could always just halve the recipe an bake it into an 8X4 in. pan instead. Your call.

But for this round, I just sliced and ate!

Remeber, Brownies. For. BREAKFAST. 

 

You going to go make these now, right?

Of course you are.

Enjoy!

-Kelly M.

  5. These look so delicious! How can I adapt the recipe by using whole wheat pastry flour or spelt flour? I can't find any coconut flour :(

    • Thank you so much, Alicia! Unfortunately, I wouldn't adapt the recipe to change the flour. Coconut flour is very unique in the way that is reacts with other ingredients, and can rarely, of ever, be substituted. I have some tips on working with coconut flour (including where to buy it) in this post. I hope this helps, and have a lovely day!

    • I don't know if you've found coconut flour but you can always buy it from here: http://www.iherb.com/search?kw=coconut+flour&x=0&y=0#p=1&rcode=zac423 I buy most of my health food items from iHerb and I've never had any problems. I added a coupon code to the link for $5 off if you spend under $40 and for $10 off if you spend over $40.

    • Hi Tamee, and thanks for the question! I haven't tried this recipe with stevia drops (yet), and everyone is different with how seet they like things. My guess would be to use about 1/4 teaspoon of liquid stevia, taste the batter to see if you like it, and go from there. I hope this helps!

  7. I think your calorie count is off .5 c Coconut flour 280 1/3 c cocoa 60 banana 100 almond milk 35 stevia 0 Total 475 Still not bad but not 300 !!

    • Hi Greg, and I am sorry for the confusion! This post is pretty old and my calorie counting skills were not exactly on point, but still pretty close: 1/2 cup coocnut flour- 160 (This is calculated using only the calories net carbs in coocnut flour. I can give you a longer and more detailed expanation of this if you'd like.) 1/3 cup cocoa powder- 54 banana- 100 almond milk- 35 total- 349 Yeah. The calorie count in the recipe is too confusing, so I updated it with a proper calorie count at the bottom. Thanks for pointing that out, and I hope this helps!

  10. Hi Kelly! Really love your blog and all these low cal treats! Made these a couple of times but the 'brownies' came out really flat and dense.. Is there a way to make it fluffier (perhaps add an egg (white?) or two?) Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you ^o^ and please continue posting more recipes with coconut flour! Hehe you're really an inspiration to me ^^

    • Hi Yuuki! Thank you so much for your kindness. I'm sorry these aren't working out like the should... they are pretty dense, but not alarmingly so. I like the idea of adding an egg white, but I haven't tried this personally so I can't vouch for it. Hope this helps!

      • Mine are exactly the same. They taste amazing, but are not fudgy-looking like the picture at all. They're more like a really intensely chocolatey dense very flat cake.

        • Oh and in case anyone would find this useful, I sweetened it with honey. I used about 1/4 cup and they are very very VERY sweet. So if you want to use honey aim for... something under 1/4 cup? Ok, maybe no one will find this useful.

  11. Hey :) I've only made coconut flour brownies once before (in fact my only experiment with coconut flour at all to date) and they came out like upholstery foam, it was such a weird consistency, light but very firm and springy! I'll definitely be trying this recipe instead, can't wait :) I have a couple of questions tho... I have read that coconut flour absorbs LOADS of moisture, and so some recipes end up needing 6 eggs so as not to get really dry once cooked. IS the 1/3 cup of almond milk enough to create all that fudginess?! Also, was the cocoa powder you used pure cacao, or a drinking/cooking chocolate? Thanks in advance, very happy I found your blog! :)

  13. Hey girl :) I just started buying cool ingredients like almond milk and stevia drops and cacao powder, i did this but with 1/2 teaspoon stevia drops, 1/3 cup cacao powder, it tasted really bitter, I haven't tried it cooked yet but they are in the oven now :) will they taste better or have i done conversions wrong for the cacao - cocoa and stevia drops - sugar? Xxxxx

  14. the calculations come to over 375 if you use stevia for the total recipe banana is 100 approximately then 30 for almond milk then with nutiva coconut flour 1/2 cup is 180 calories then the 1/3 c cocoa is 65 . still not bad for a tray of brownies

  15. Hi Kelly! I tried this recipe this morning and it turned out not too much like the pictures! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out flat and super crumbly. They couldn't even hold together! I love this recipe and how healthy it is but it wasnt working!! Any suggestions? An egg maybe? I am 15 and experimenting with healthy baking too and I rly want this recipe to work! Thank you!

  16. Hi, I cooked this recently and the texture was fine actually however the taste was not very good. I think it needs more sugar/equivalent. Also it needs something to make it more chocolatey/creamy,maybe skim milk and/or a considerable amount more of stevia sweetened chocolate.
