🍎 Flourless Fudgy Apple Brownies

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 20-25 mins | Yields: 9–12 squares

Ingredients

  • 2 large Apples (sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala work best), peeled and chopped

  • 2 large Eggs

  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened, high quality)

  • 1/2 cup Nut butter (Almond or Cashew butter provides the most neutral flavor)

  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup or Honey (Optional; leave out if you want them strictly fruit-sweetened)

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda

  • A pinch of salt

  • Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Blend: Place the chopped apples, eggs, nut butter, vanilla, and sweetener (if using) into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips by hand if you’re using them.

  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  5. Cook: Bake for 20–25 minutes. The center should be set but still slightly soft to the touch (don’t overbake, or they will lose the fudge texture!).

  6. Cool (The Hard Part): Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing. These brownies set as they cool; if you cut them warm, they will be too gooey.

💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Result

  • The Apple Texture: If you want those visible “apple chunks” seen in your photo, reserve half an apple, dice it very finely, and fold it into the batter after blending.

  • Glossy Top: For that shiny “crackly” top, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips or a tiny dusting of coconut sugar over the batter before it goes into the oven.

  • Storage: Because these are fruit-based, they stay very moist. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
