So I’ll leave the description of this short and sweet (just like these little beauties!) Delicious is the best word to describe them. Chocolate-y, slightly fudgy, a little salty – pretty much mind blowing. Take a short cut and use a premade brownie mix if desired!
1 pkg of gluten-free brownie mix (I like Namaste brand –
it is free from major allergens)
1 egg½ cup applesauce
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
½ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
½ cup pecans, chopped
½ tsp sea salt
1/3 cup brown coconut sugar
- In a large bowl, mix together brownie mix, egg, applesauce and water.
- Pour into a greased 8x8 baking pan. In a separate bowl, combine coconut oil, coconut, pecans and sugar.
- Sprinkle coconut mixture evenly onto brownie batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until brownies are
cooked through and topping is brown. I find that the coconut browns quickly so
I cover mine with foil about halfway through baking.
