Enter these gluten-free wonders, packed with walnuts for a satisfying crunch that’ll make you forget all about that flour-filled FOMO. They’re the treat that says, “I care about my gut, but I also care about my soul.”
Serving: 16 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for a dairy-free twist)
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (like Bob’s Red Mill)
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes—this helps create that crackly top.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
5. Sift in the cocoa powder, gluten-free flour blend, and salt directly into the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer with the spatula.
9. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs—not clean, as overbaking leads to dryness.
10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing to set properly.
11. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out, then cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for neat edges.

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup hazelnut flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until well combined and lump-free.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with a whisk until frothy, about 1 minute, to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
4. Slowly pour 1/2 cup melted butter into the eggs while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
5. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
7. Fold in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for pockets of melty chocolate.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer with the spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
10. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour to set properly before slicing.
11. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownie slab out of the pan, then cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife for clean edges.
How heavenly are these brownie squares? They boast a dense, fudgy interior with a crackly top, thanks to the hazelnut flour adding a subtle nutty depth. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert, or pack them as a lunchbox treat—they’re so versatile, you might just eat the whole batch yourself!

Serving: 9 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.

11. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
