Gluten Free and Vegan Brownie Cookies Recipe

Makes around a dozen tablespoon-sized cookies

1/4 cup all-purpose gluten free flour + 2 tbsp (I used King Arthur’s GF Measure-for-Measure flour)
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 TBSP applesauce
2 TBSP maple syrup (or date syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 TBSP water/milk + 1 TBSP if needed
Handful of chocolate chips

How to Make Your Gluten Free and Vegan Brownie Cookies

These brownie cookies are titled “super easy” for a reason - they really are crazy easy to make!

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then mix all of the dry ingredients except the chocolate chips, followed by the wet ingredients, adding the extra tablespoon of liquid if the batter is too thick.

Then scoop tablespoon-sized balls of batter onto a lined baking sheet, and press a few chocolate chips (or more - you do you!) into each. Then pop your brownie cookies in the oven for around 10 minutes!

Enjoy Your Vegan and Gluten Free Brownie Cookies!

These gluten free brownie cookies are sweet enough to enjoy for dessert but they’re honestly delicious to eat for breakfast or snack instead. Besides eating them on their own, I love pairing these gluten free chocolate cookies with dairy free yogurt, berries and sunflower butter.

As a chocoholic since birth, these gluten free brownie cookies aren’t the decadent, sugary brownies you’d find at a traditional bakery (gluten free or otherwise). But they are the perfect chocolatey bite if you want a slightly sweet treat with a dense, fudgy texture.
