Flourless Chocolate Brownie Recipes

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Puree black beans, honey, cocoa powder, coconut oil, eggs, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until smooth; pour into a baking dish. Stir chocolate chips into black bean mixture and sprinkle chopped chocolate over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 35 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.

TRIPLE-CHOCOLATE FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Make the brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in center. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; line pan with parchment paper on all sides, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Spray parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In a large heatproof bowl, combine butter, sugar, and bittersweet chocolate. Place bowl over (but not touching) simmering water. Heat, stirring often, until butter and chocolate are melted and mixture is smooth.
• Remove bowl from heat and whisk in eggs, water, and vanilla. Whisk in cocoa powder mixture; fold in chocolate chips. Transfer batter to prepared baking pan; smooth top using a spatula. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and edges and center are set, 40 to 55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let brownies cool completely in pan.
• Make the ganache: Place semisweet and bittersweet chocolates in a heatproof bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine cream, honey, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour cream mixture over chocolate and let stand until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk to make smooth.
• Strain chocolate mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl; stir in vanilla extract. Pour ganache over cooled brownies, spreading with a spatula to make smooth.
• Make the white chocolate drizzle: Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water; stir in vegetable oil. Drizzle over ganache-topped brownies. Transfer to refrigerator until set, about 2 hours. Score brownies; cut and serve.

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 4cm-deep, 20 x 20cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Melt 200g of the chocolate together with the butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl until pale and foamy - it should look like a frothy milkshake. This will take 2-3 mins with an electric whisk, or about 5-8 mins with a balloon whisk. Pour in the butter and chocolate mixture along with the almonds, then fold everything together until there are no streaks of chocolate. Tip the mixture into the tin, scatter over the rest of the chocolate, and bake for 25 mins, until cooked with a slight wobble in the middle.
• Leave to cool for 10 mins, then scoop into bowls and serve warm for a pudding. Alternatively, leave to cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares and store in an airtight tin. Will keep for up to five days.
