5 Ingredient Flourless Vegan Brownies

Sharing is caring!

These simple flourless vegan brownies are made with basic ingredients and are keto, paleo, dairy-free, and so much more!

I love me a healthy dessert recipe! These fudgy flourless vegan brownies are made with no grains and sweetened with apple sauce (& coconut sugar if you desire!)

Something that has become an area of experimentation for me lately has been coming up with recipes that involve only a handful of ingredients and are flour FREE.

Using 5 ingredients or less is a challenge but one that I am totally up for. As someone who works full time and does NOT have the patience to go searching for millions of different ingredients, I LOVE recipes that are simple and use products I ACTUALLY have in the house.

I sometimes see recipes with like charcoal or things of that nature?? UMM WHAT? Don’t have baking charcoal or whatever it’s called lying around my house 😅

Why Make Brownies Without Flour?

So here’s what’s up. There is ZERO FLOUR in these brownies. Ya heard me! NONE.

Not even gluten-free flour. I used protein powder and cocoa powder instead! The powders act as the gluten in this recipe, adding fudginess and overall texture to the brownies.

They are:

• fudgy
• rich
• gooey

Seriously, just look at them! I can’t think of a more satisfying healthy treat – especially if you’re a chocoholic like I am. The idea that some people have to pass up one of the greatest desserts eva seriously leaves me sputtering.

But as Kermit says, ” BUT THAT’S NONE OF MY BUSINESS” *sips tea*

Ingredients for These Flourless Vegan Brownies

Lucky for you, you won’t need to go searching too long for the ingredients in this simple recipe.

To get started you will need:

• Unsweetened cocoa powder: One of my favorites is Hershey’s – You can find it on Amazon Prime Pantry HERE
• Your favorite chocolate protein powder
• Unsweetened apple sauce
• Coconut sugar
• OPTIONAL: mini chocolate morsels

Okay, so I love love LOVE chocolate, so I had to add a little more to my brownies. This is completely optional, but the more the merrier am I right?

As of late, I’ve been baking with Enjoy Life morsels. They are all-natural, gluten-free, allergy-friendly and vegan. Does it get better than that!?!? Also, did I mention, they taste SOOOO GOOD??

I love eating them by the handfuls after dinner LOL. I am not kidding. My mom often gets mad that I pick them out of the trail mix but, can ya blame me? Oh well! I ain’t even sorry!

What to Mix with Your Flourless Vegan Brownies?

Like I said above, I added some Enjoy Life mini chocolate morsels to the recipe because, well, I’m addicted to those things. But, here are some more ideas for add-ins:

• heath crunch
• almond slivers
• walnuts
• pecans
• peanut butter chips
• white chocolate chips

STORAGE

Can’t eat all of these flourless vegan brownies in one sitting? Don’t worry, I’ve got a way for you to store these babies for later! No matter what, I recommend you warm it up quickly in the microwave for 20 seconds to get those chocolate morsels a little bit melty on top.

Counter: store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3-5 days.

Fridge: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer: make sure they are completely cooled first, then, wrap each brownie in plastic wrap . Cover that with tin foil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months!
