    These healthy gluten-free brownies are soo fudgy, wow, you gonna love them! Made with a little bit of almond flour, brown or coconut sugar, plenty of chocolate, and cocoa powder, will result in super moist, fudgy, gooey, and decadent brownies.

    Vegan Fudgy Pomegranate Brownies

    The good news is that it is very easy to make gluten-free brownies that are also FUDGY. You wanna know what's the best part? They taste even fudgier the next day AND even after freezing them too.

    But you may not need to refrigerate them because of WARNING! there is a possibility of eating the whole tray in one sitting…  

    And look at the mouth-watering crackly top these fudgy brownies have! With pomegranate seeds as a garnish or without you must try the recipe.

    Tips

    • When removing the brownie from the oven it will be moist and you’ll need to let them cool COMPLETELY until cutting.
    • The secret to making these brownies fudgy is not only using good quality sugar but also high quality and LARGE chocolate chips. If you don’t have large ones, it may be better to use large chunks of cooking chocolate instead. 
    • Let the brownies cool before cutting - Try your best to resist eating these gluten free brownies straight out of the oven. Letting them cool makes them gooier and fudgier, and they’ll be less likely to crumble when you slice them. Plus, they’ll have an even richer chocolate flavor. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
    • Vanilla extract vs paste - Can use vanilla extract but vanilla paste has more in-depth flavor, hence why I love to use it more often.
    • Sugar - Use dark brown sugar with small crystals, we don’t want these brownies to feel crunchy. Also, another great alternative is to use coconut sugar. The taste of these sugars will be different but equally as good, you just need to find the one that you love the most.

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 F.

    Heat up a small saucepan over medium heat with chocolate chips and coconut oil until all the chocolate is melted and the texture smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

    In a medium mixing bowl beat eggs for 3 minutes at high speed. (This is an important step as it will result in a crumbly top). 

    brownies

    Follow with vanilla, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt and almond flour. Stir well until all ingredients combined.

    Then add the melted chocolate to the eggs mixture and stir well to combine.

    Transfer the brownie batter into an 8 x 8-inch or 8 x 9 inch pan covered with parchment paper. Bake the brownies for 25 minutes. 

    Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    When cooled completely, top these brownies with chocolate glaze and fresh pomegranate seeds. 

    Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk or scoop of vanilla ice cream!

    FAQ


    Should brownies be wobbly?

    After 25 minutes remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then gently pull the ready brownies out and transfer to a cooling rack until cooled completely. 
    I know how difficult it is to resist eating fresh from the oven brownies. 
    But you should wait at least 30 minutes until cutting them because the brownies should be still wobbly in the middle as they will continue to cook for a little while after removing them from the oven. 


    Should I refrigerate brownies?

    If properly sealed in an airtight container these brownies will last for a week or more. 
    They will remain moist and fudgy just as they were on the first day of baking. In case you’ll need to refrigerate them, do it as soon as they will cool down completely.

    Do you like brownies? What's your favorite toppings if any?

      Brownie is one of my favorite desserts. I think the pomegranate will add a nice texture to it.
