  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • ⅔ cup cacao powder*
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup allergy friendly chocolate chips** save to add at the very end/see notes for paleo friendly options

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease and line 8x8 pan with parchment paper 'wings'.
  • In a medium mixing bowl add dry ingredients (but not chocolate chips yet): coconut sugar, cassava flour, tapioca flour, cacao powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together.

    Wet ingredients for brownies.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, whisk until combined and smooth. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into greased and lined pan. Give the bottom of the pan a few firm taps on counter to even out batter.
  • Place in preheated oven. Bake 25-28 minutes. For a fudgier brownie bake 25 minutes. For a more cakey brownie bake 28-29 minutes.

Notes

*Feel free to use traditional cocoa powder instead if that's all you have on hand. The flavor will be very similar, but the brownie will be less nutritious. 
**See cooking tips for paleo friendly chocolate chips. If you don't mind refined sugar Enjoy Life chocolate chips are typically what I use. I use the dark morsels and rice milk morsels interchangeably in this recipe.
