Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup pureed roasted delicata squash * see note
  • cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour * see note
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch * see note
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ cup cocoa powder + 2 TBSP
  • cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • Spray a 8x8 baking dish with coconut oil, or other nonstick oil.
  • In a large bowl, add dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • In a small bowl, add wet ingredients and squash puree.
  • Use a mixer to blend well. (This also helps break up the squash more.)
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour into baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until done in the center.

Notes

  1. Note if you can't find delicata squash, you can substitute acorn or butternut squash.
  2. Coconut flour is unique in the amount of moisture it absorbs. You can't substitute the same amount of gluten free flour.
  3. Maple syrup is the main sweetener, but you can also use agave nectar.
  4. These brownies will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
