How to make the best gluten free marshmallow brownies

Firstly preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

Now make the brownie layer. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a large microwave safe bowl. Let it cool. Then add in the eggs, coconut sugar, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined and pour into the prepared pan.

After that bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Immediately remove the pan and add the two cups of marshmallows. Return the pan to the oven to cook for 2 more minutes.

Let the pan cool while you prepare the icing.

Making the frosting in a small sauce pan on the stove. Add in the cocoa powder, coconut oil and almond milk. Mix over low heat until fully melted. Now stir in the powdered sugar. Then, pour the frosting over the marshmallow layer.

Finally, let the brownies cool for at least two hours before slicing. Or let the brownies cool for an hour and then add them to the fridge for an hour to harden before slicing.

How to serve almond flour brownies

These brownies are best served chilled due to the icing and marshmallow layer. Once the brownies have cooled for an hour. Place them in the fridge for another hour or two before slicing. I actually prefer storing my marshmallow brownies in the freezer and enjoying them directly out of the freezer – yum!

Add some ice cream. Heat up your brownie in the microwave and serve it warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Top with more marshmallows! Any marshmallow lovers? Add some more marshmallows on top of your serving.

For extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.

Healthy brownie recipe

Since this recipe is made with applesauce, it can be considered a ‘lightened up’ brownie recipe as it doesn’t have all the oil like traditional brownies have. However, these brownies still taste like the real deal! I have outlined a few reason why these brownies are wholesome.

First of all, they are made with almond flour and coconut flour. Both of these gluten free flours are a great substitute to traditional flour. They also have many nutritional benefits! Almond flour has many added benefits like healthy fats, fiber and protein. Coconut flour is also rich in fiber and pairs perfectly with the almond flour in this recipe.

Secondly, they use applesauce instead of oil (or another fat). Applesauce is a great fat replacer in baked goods. It cuts back the calories and still makes moist and chewy desserts. Applesauce also adds fiber and other nutritional benefits.

Finally, only 150 calories for one brownie! When cut into 9 squares these brownies are only 150 calories a piece.
