Quick Easy Gluten Free Brownies720P HD

hey guys it's Danny now Valentine's Day

is coming up next week and so I asked

you guys what you wanted to see and the

number one recipe request I got was for

a clean brownie so I figured instead of

trying to reinvent the wheel I got

permission to share one of my all-time

favorite brownie recipes for this quick

bite I'm making Elena's gluten-free

clean and delicious chocolate chunk

brownies now if you're not already

familiar with Elena Amsterdam she is the

founder of Elena's Pantry which I've

personally been a fan of for years and

she's since written several cookbooks

she is a pioneer in grain-free cooking

so I highly recommend checking out her

website now with that being said I have

my oven preheating to 325 and in this

bowl right over here I have one 16oz jar

of creamy roasted all naturatural almond

butter now this is what creates the base

of the recipe kind of hard to believe I

know there's no flour just this

hearthealthy fat and proteinpacked

almond butter now when you buy an

allnatural almond butter which is what

we want has no added sugars no

hydrogenated oils the tendency is for

the oil to pull away from the butter a

little bit like you see over here so the

first thing we're going to do is just

blend this up with a hand mixer make

sure we've got it all really well

incorporated

okay so this looks good as you can see

the almond butter got nice and rich and

creamy it's all come together so now I'm

ready to add in two eggs 1 tbsp of

vanilla extract

one cup of raw honey now Elena uses

agave here but I prefer the honey and I

don't usually have agave in the cupboard

so my point here is they both work just

fine use what you've got a half a cup of

unsweetened cocoa powder and make sure

that you're not buying cocoa mix hot

cocoa mix you want unsweetened cocoa

powder then one teaspoon baking soda and

a half a teaspoon of kosher salt now the

bigger the grains of salt the better

this kosher salt is the 365 brand from

Whole Foods and as you can see the

grains are nice and big which I don't

love for everything but in this recipe

when the brownies bake up the salt

doesn't completely break down so you end

up getting these little bursts of salt

when you bite into this rich chocolate

chunk brownie it's amazing okay once

you've got everything in the bowl pick

up that hand blender and we're going to

slowly blend this together until

everything is well incorporated

okay now what you're going to see when

it's done is that you've got this rich

creamy thick brownie mix and the last

step we're going to do is fold in one

cup of chocolate chunks now I like to

buy a dark chocolate bar that I

absolutely love cut the chunks up myself

but if you wanted to you could do

chocolate chips or pre-made chocolate

chunks but I am going to tell you that I

can promise you when you buy a great

chocolate bar and cut it up yourself

it's always better

and get those mixed in

okay guys our last step you're going to

pour the brownie mix into a greased 13x9

baking dish i greased mine with a little

bit of coconut oil you could do it with

cooking spray a little bit of butter

whatever you prefer

and then once you've got it in there you

just want to spread it around until it's

all nice and even and if you're having a

hard time because it's so rich and thick

just dip your spatula in some cold water

and that's going to help you get the job

done okay now I'm going to pop this into

my 325° oven for 30 minutes now we're

going to let those go for 30 minutes it

could be a little bit more or a little

bit less depending on your oven but more

or less you're just looking for the

brownies to set up which just so happens

to be right about the same time that

your kitchen starts to smell insanely

delicious

okay now once your brownies have

completely cooled you can cut them up

and this tray should get you 24 brownies

that is so rich and gooey and delicious

everything you would ever want a brownie

to be unbelievable that that is made

with almond butter you guys have to try

this one

thanks so much for watching i'm Danny

Spes i will see you next time with some

more clean and deliciousness i prefer

the honey and I don't usually have agave

in the cupboard so in the cupboard in

the cupboard in the country
