I LOVE chocolate – probably more than is good for me. But, hey, some chocolate is good for you, and we all need a little chocolate in our lives! What we don’t need is a bunch more grains. So I created these flour-less brownies that are perfect for those that eat low-carb, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, or refined-sugar-free. In other words, if you are looking for a healthy and delicious treat, try these!

There are two types of brownies: fudgy/gooey and dry/light. There are two other types of brownies: No add-ins and with add-ins. And there are two last types of brownies: With icing/glaze and without icing/glaze. If you’re the fudgy-brownie type, then check out my Flour-less Black Bean Brownies. However, if you like a drier, lighter brownie with add-ins and a glaze – then keep reading!

These brownies are not only light and airy, they are rich in chocolate. I also added walnuts and coconut flakes to give the them texture and flavor. Usually, vanilla extract is my go-to flavoring, but I was out today. So I opted to go with a less-popular, but equally delicious flavoring – cinnamon and nutmeg. There’s just a little, so it doesn’t over power the rich chocolate flavor – but the spice is still there.

I love adding little extra touches – and who isn’t a fan of a little icing or glaze? But let’s not make it too sweet…food grade orange essential oil adds just the right amount of flavor and orange pairs deliciously with chocolate – in my opinion.

Okay, enough said. That may be the longest recipe description I’ve ever written! On to the recipe!
