April 12, 2017 at 11:18 pmThese 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
April 13, 2017 at 1:06 amYou 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
April 15, 2017 at 7:50 amAwesome! Thanks, Stacey!
Annie Garwood says
May 30, 2018 at 10:05 pmGood 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
May 31, 2018 at 9:14 amHi 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
June 7, 2018 at 3:35 pmThese 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
June 7, 2018 at 4:35 pmHi Stephanie – glad you love them! The nutrition information is based on 1 brownie, with 12 brownies total in the batch.
Kendra says
June 11, 2018 at 3:15 pmI’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
June 11, 2018 at 3:28 pmI’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
June 27, 2018 at 5:49 pmIf 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
June 28, 2018 at 10:44 amHi 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
July 2, 2018 at 12:41 pmCan I substitute the rice flour with coconut flour?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
July 18, 2018 at 12:29 pmHi Annie – You should be fine substituting, though the texture could be slightly different as rice flour is finer.
Molly says
July 23, 2018 at 9:09 pmI 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
July 25, 2018 at 3:11 pmThank 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 😉
Linda Kinnear says
October 15, 2018 at 9:48 pmHi Stacey, has anybody replaced your coconut sugar with raw honey by chance ?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
October 16, 2018 at 7:20 pmHi Linda – we haven’t tried the recipe with honey, mainly because it is tricky to bake with honey. When heated to high temperatures, honey can get hard or even become bitter tasting. I would stick with other types of sweeteners – you could substitute half the amount of brown sugar (it’s sweeter than coconut sugar).
Minz says
December 29, 2018 at 3:24 amHi,
May I know how long can the brownies last?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
December 29, 2018 at 2:44 pmIf you keep them covered in the fridge, they can last 2-3 days. If you wrap them individually, you can freeze them to last even longer. Hope this helps!
