Gooey Flourless Fudge Brownies
2014-06-29 04:03:27
Ingredients
- - 200g dark, dairy free chocolate (I use either Green & Black's 70% cocoa chocolate which 'may contain traces of dairy', or Loving Earth dark chocolate which is completely dairy free)
- - 130g raw Medjool dates, pitted
- - 180g organic cold-pressed coconut oil
- - 30g coconut flour
- - 4 eggs
- - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- - 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C. Line a 22cm square baking dish with baking paper. I use 'If You Care' baking paper, which is non-toxic.
- Place the chocolate (broken into pieces) into the mixing bowl and mill for 10 sec/speed 9.
- Add the dates to the bowl and chop 15 sec/speed 10.
- Add the coconut oil and cook 5 mins/60C/speed 2.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix 20 sec/speed 8. Scrape down lid and sides of bowl and mix another 10 sec/speed 6.
- Scrape mixture into a lined, square baking dish. Bake in preheated 190C oven for 18-20 mins. Be careful not to overcook or they won't be gooey! Just until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Cool, cut into small squares, and refrigerate until cold.
Notes
- If you don't have a Thermomix, you'll need to finely chop the chocolate and dates (in a food processor if you have one) and melt together over a double boiler with the coconut oil, whisking until smooth. Then stir in the remaining ingredients with a wooden spoon.

Can be dusted with some raw cacao powder, or if you want to be really decadent, top with this dairy free ganache, or some dairy free dulce de leche!
PS It might be best to ‘share the love’ and invite a friend over for a cuppa and brownies… these are RICH, so don’t eat them all yourself! Lol!!
Have a great weekend xx
This one was quite popular with the taste testers!!

Hey. Love the flourless chocolate brownies. Can I substitute the coconut flour with any other kind of flour?
Hi Sandy – I haven’t tried any other flours in this sorry. It is delicious with coconut flour if you can have it 🙂
Hi there, these look great! I don’t have medjool dates just regular pitted ones. Can I use these instead?
Hi there Deb – You sure can. I have made them with regular pitted dates – the same amount – just pour hot water over your dates and leave for about 5 seconds, and pour off. This softens them and the brownies work perfectly. This is one of our favourite recipes. Enjoy! 🙂
Hi, just wondering if you can freeze these? Thanks! 🙂
Hi Jo
Can’t wait to see you here in Perth soon!
I made these tonight substituting 2 eggs for chia gel and it is fabulous!
Thank you for all that you do sharing amazing recipes xx
Hi I am unable to eat any kind of coconut I am going to substitute the coconut flour for banana flour but was wondering what other oil you could recommend?
Can you have butter? That is delicious in these brownies.
Yes I can use butter will give them a try this afternoon. Love all your recipes Jo so inspirational!
Can I use the chia seed substitution for eggs in this recipe?
Will it be ok to make up the mixture, refrigerate overnight then bake when I want?
No I think best to cook straight away, then freeze. 🙂
Any way of subbing the eggs for something to make this Vegan?
You could try banana, and reduce the sweetener!
My daughter can’t have banana. Could we use chia seed, and if so would you know how much?
Hmmm I’m not sure. What about cooked sweet potato?
I have just made them and I can’t wait until they come out of the oven. I foolishly licked the thermie bowl and they are so YUMMY.. I hope I can wait until they are cold.
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe I can’t wait til I buy your book.
Very silly question. But do these taste coconuty?
No they are too chocolatey – you can’t taste the coconut. 🙂
Gosh… These are the best brownies I have ever made. Soo easy and super tasty. Thanks for the recipe. Can wait to have another reason to bake these very indulgent brownies
Hello! I’m wondering if these will be good to eat straight out of the oven / still warm?
They’ll be fine 🙂
OMG love these 🙂 our new favourite!
Jo, you are simply amazing. There isant one dish of yours that I cook and it’s nothing but delicious. I loved the brownies, I added frozen raspberries and activated walnuts. Kept in the fridge and OMG. A great treat for a gluten free girl .
Also inquiring about egg free. 4 eggs subbed my usual way makes me nervous (1T flax 3T water per egg)
We have to be dairy, soy, egg, gluten, peanut, and beef free 🙁
Oh wow!!! These have been on my ‘must make’ list forever & I finally made them today. These are amazing Jo!!! Now the challenge is to not eat them all before the kids get home from school!
I was sceptic all at first as I’m a brownie junkie….. But OMG. Divine.
Just realised i need to take a treat in to share for son’s school celebration tomorrow. no dates but have everything else in fridge and pantry. What could I substitute the dates with? Help!
Sooo yummy and easy thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!
Has anyone tried these with a different flour? If I used spelt would it be OK you think??
Hi Jo, do you have an idea for replacing dates? We don’t eat any dried fruit. Thanks heaps Rachael
How long do these last in the fridge I’m eatin them from last Thursday 😂
At least a week is fine – they will just dry out after a while in the fridge. 🙂
Delicious thank you! Only thing was they didn’t really rise, so were only about 1cm thick. So instead of serving them to guests for dessert, I kept them for kids lunch boxes 🙂 I used the correct size baking dish. Perhaps I should double the recipe next time? Any suggestions?
Has any one else had trouble with this recipe? I followed the recipe amounts exactly except used 90% cocao chocolate and dried dates and ended up with a weird gooey mess in a flood of oil.
For those that are interested, I went to o make these the other day and after milling the chocolate fond I had no coconut flour, so I subbed the 30g coconut flour for 3/4 cup blanched almond meal. Not quite as gooey/soft in the middle but just as tasty. We eat it out of the fridge anyway so ours is always hard anyway!
These brownies are delish. Ate them warm and the remainder has gone in the fridge. Looking forward to trying them cold. Delicious warm with cream.
Mmmmm, Liz…now I want some, haha! Glad you enjoyed them. They are lovely cold too. xx
Is there any way of having a substitute of dates or can you just leave the dates out?
Thank you
Hi Sarah! 🙂 The dates are the sweetener in this recipe so you would need to replace them with another sweetener such as rapadura, coconut sugar or honey. xx
These are a hit in our house! To the point my partner and I fight over licking the spoon 🤤
Oh my gosh these are so yummy! Do u think I could use changing habits cacao melts instead of the chocolate?
Sure! They will be less sweet so adjust sweetener to taste 🙂
Hi Jo. I made these on the weekend and of course they were amazing and didn’t last long. I watched your little video and it was so lovely to see how far you’ve come since then. I can tell it was done before your GAPS journey and you look so much healthier now. You’re so inspiring and bubbly and down to earth and i really love everything you do. Thank you 💚
Oh Diana…Thank you so much:-).
