These look amazing! I can’t wait to try them… 😋 🤤
Do you think almond flour could be substituted for the rice flour? If so, how much would you guess?
Thanks, Dave
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
You can absolutely substitute almond flour (same measurements should be fine). There might be a slight difference in consistency and flavor, but they should still be fantastic!
TruthSeeker says
Awesome! Thanks, Stacey!
Annie Garwood says
Good flavor but needs to be more chocolatey. More importantly the texture is too wet. Overall more like a subtle chocolate pudding.
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Annie – thanks for the feedback! The texture should be more like cake brownies, so perhaps they needed a few extra minutes in the oven 🙂
Stephanie says
These are amazing! Could you please tell me for the nutritional information, is 1 serving, 1 brownie, and how many pieces do you cut them into in the 8×8 pan?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Stephanie – glad you love them! The nutrition information is based on 1 brownie, with 12 brownies total in the batch.
Kendra says
I’m looking to make this vegan (so remove the eggs). Do you think I can substitute the eggs with coconut oil or olive oil? Thank you!
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
I’ve heard of using chia seeds as an egg substitute (1 Tbsp chia seeds + 2.5 Tbsp water per egg). I’ve never actually tried it though, so can’t vouch for the taste. Would love to know how it turns out if you try it!
Maddie flake says
If you don’t have the flour or sugar can you substitute just regular flour and sugar,not nearly as healthy but just wondering!
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Maddie – You should be able to substitute all-purpose flour 1:1 for brown rice flour and regular sugar 1:1 for coconut sugar. I personally find that coconut sugar is less sweet, so this may result in a sweeter brownie – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing 😉
Annie says
Can I substitute the rice flour with coconut flour?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Annie – You should be fine substituting, though the texture could be slightly different as rice flour is finer.
Molly says
I made this recipe without the chocolate chips and they were still very good! I didn’t have any on hand but will make them with the chips next time. I didn’t use a food processor, I just mixed everything well in a bowl. Thanks for the recipe!
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Thank you for letting me know you liked the recipe Molly! I agree, these brownies are still pretty tasty without the chocolate chips, though a handful of chocolate chunks make them extra decadent 😉
