When I’m in the mood for chocolate, more often than not I reach for a bar (80 to 90% cacao for me, please), but there are times when I’m just in the mood for a really good brownie.

If you’re looking for a great brownie recipe that’s gluten-free and a bit healthier than most, this one is it.

Now, I have a confession to make; I’m a batter-lover from waaaaay back. (Dating all the way to my toddler days when I was too short to reach the counter so I’d sit up there, legs criss-crossed, and watch my mom mix up a batch of chocolate chippers). It goes without saying that these days I still swipe a fingerful of batter when I bake.

(In my defense, when I’m developing a baked good recipe I need to test it before it’s baked to make sure the flavor is on-point! It might need a touch more sugar, salt, etc., right? Or yeah, this might be a case of any excuse will do, lol. Really though, if you trust your egg source and buy pastured eggs it’s not as huge an issue as you might think. You can read more about raw egg consumption here.)

But the thing I discovered when I was developing this brownie recipe is that it needed no flour. I had originally planned on adding almond flour or perhaps a mix of almond flour and tapioca flour, but I found it to be absolutely perfect as-is. Cocoa powder is the only flour-like substance in this recipe, and the batter itself is ganache-like and more than a little addictive (if ever there were a recipe that deserved two swipes of batter, this one is it).

And the batter bakes up into some pretty fabulous brownies. Deep, dark chocolate flavor that’s nuanced with hints of coffee and vanilla, plus the crunch of walnuts. Their texture falls somewhere between fudgy and chewy without being cakey, which makes them completely irresistible.

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: 8 brownies
These Classic Chocolate Walnut Brownies are deeply chocolaty with flavor notes of coffee and vanilla to satisfy your most intense chocolate cravings!
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (115 g) coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water
  • 2 oz (60 g) good-quality unsweetened chocolate, melted in a double boiler or microwave and cooled slightly
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F; line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper so the paper hangs over all 4 sides (and you can lift the brownies out later).
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, and then beat in the eggs, vanilla, dissolved espresso, and melted chocolate.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and stir to combine. Fold in the walnuts.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the brownies are set along the outside, about 20 to 22 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. Cool completely before cutting.
  5. These can be left at room temperature overnight; the next day, transfer any leftovers to the fridge where they’ll keep for about 1 week.

    […] I recently finally got around to tackling something that’s been on my “to-do” list for a very long time: giving Healthy Sweet Eats a facelift! I did the logo and site design myself; I was going for colorful, whimsical, and fun, and it was no small task for me because I am definitely not a web designer. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out though! Over there I share my nourishing sweet treats, most of which can legitimately pass as breakfast or dessert. Everything is gluten-free and refined-sugar-free, and most recipes are also paleo-friendly. My current favorite recipes over there are my Easy No-Churn Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt and my Classic Chocolate Walnut Brownies. […]

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
⁣
You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
