Gluten Free Pumpkin Brownies

November 16, 2017 by Peter Block 2 Comments

It is that time of year for pumpkin, and today, I bring you Gluten Free Pumpkin Brownies.  You have not seen many desserts from me lately, and they, will be fewer still.  In addition to my switch to gluten free, I have also all but given up desserts trying to cut out sugar.  I am really testing out the science that both gluten and sugar are inflammatory.  My early results are encouraging as I feel I have less stiffness in my joints.  Even though I so love desserts, this change is so worth it especially with the early positive results.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Brownies

In this recipe, I used a lot of coconut including coconut flour as my gluten free alternative.  I have read that desserts are the perfect use for coconut flour.  Makes sense flavor wise as well because coconuts are sweet.  If this coconut were not enough, I used coconut flour and coconut oil in the making of these brownies.  Baking, though a science, is really easy and fun.  All you need to do is follow a recipe.  I love creating layer desserts because they look so good.  It is also a great way to use flavors that complement one another.  Pumpkin and chocolate go so well together.  And pumpkin is so good in desserts as in this THANKSGIVING PUMPKIN PIE.

These Gluten Free Pumpkin Brownies are double chocolatey by using both melted bittersweet chocolate and cocoa.  Pumpkin is powerful so the strong chocolate goes well with it.  The pumpkin puree is enhanced with the traditional spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.  Use a good cinnamon like the Vietnamese cinnamon used in this recipe.

  • 6 Ounces Bittersweet Chocolate
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 2/3 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Whole Eggs
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

Pumpkin Layer

  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar

Cover the pumpkin layer with the remaining chocolate. Finish by dolloping the remaining pumpkin mixture in 3 x 3 pattern. Take a toothpick or a chopstick and run it in one direction through these pumpkin dollops.

    Serve and enjoy!
