Freedom Brownies Recipe
These clean eating freedom brownies are wonderful, grain-free brownies!!
A reader on Facebook forwarded a recipe to me thinking I might enjoy a new type of brownie. A brownie made with coconut flour!
Not being one to turn down a good brownie, I took a peek at the recipe. It looked lovely, and with butter, it would have been clean. But since I’m not eating any dairy at the moment, I had to make a change in the source of fat for these. And because I did that, I had to have more egg to help it bind. I also like a heavier vanilla flavor so….. well…. you get the idea. I changed the recipe.
But my, oh my….what a great treat! Something I absolutely needed for my sanity today…
P.S. – These are gluten-free, dairy-free, AND grain-free! Oh, and did I mention they are DA-ANG good!!????
But it’s also only fair to say that even though these are called “Freedom Brownies”, that doesn’t mean they are free of calories. These are definitely a once-in-a-while treat.

Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- 5 large eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract, non sugar added
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour and cocoa powder.
- Whisk in the coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend well.
- Pour batter into a greased baking dish (mine was about 7×11), and bake at 350 F. for about 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool. This is important because they tend to fall apart easily when warm, making it difficult to get them out of the pan.

These look so moist, they will also be included in my Christmas Gift baskets for family and friends, I just wish I had this recipe earlier, Thanks for making my Christmas Baskets a lot cleaner!
Wow thanks for this recipe I can’t wait to try these.
Could you do this with 10 egg whites instead? My son has an egg yolk allergy.
I haven’t tried it, but It should work.
Aren’t eggs considered dairy?
No. They come from a chicken. They are poultry.
Sorry, but I really have no idea. You’d have to ask a dietitian.
I haven’t tried it that way, but I’m sure it would be fine
It’s pretty mild, actually. But then I’m used to putting coconut in everything. All I tasted was the chocolate.
Tiffany, do you have any recipes using organic rice flour? Do you also have a clean eating recipe for empanada especially pumpkin ones?. Thank you love your site. Merry Christmas to your family.
I have this recipe: https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-empanadas/, but it’s not pumpkin. And nothing with rice flour exclusively. Sorry!
Thanks for your dedication and hard, if fun, work. I try a new recipe, if it flops the first time, I don’t want to try again!
Now that I have a clean recipe for one of my favorite indulgences, brownies, I’m going to need for you to figure out for me how to do baklava!!!
These look wonderful. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
My husband has decided he wants to eat healthier maybe this is a good dessert option!
these look nice!
making these with your oreo cookies for our xmas parties. My daughter has a dairy allergy so we appreciate these recipes.
HI I made these for my grandmother who now has a gluten allergy. My whole family liked them. They were not super sweet, but good.
They were very moist for me. Could be an altitude difference or even difference between our ovens. You can always add some apple sauce for moisture. 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
Hope you enjoy it!
I just took these out of the oven! Yum!! These will definitely get me through a tough sweet tooth craving! I did use an electric mixer for a minute or two and the batter was almost frothy. Brownies had enough moisture and really arent falling apart at all. Perfect!
