Chocolate Chip Brownie Bars | Vegan + Paleo + Grain-Free

[@carina2244]

[@maximilianomolina5221]

carina2244 cuz she makes vegan stuff man america hates vegans sadly😔

Just made these with almond butter because. I didn’t have cashew butter. They’re amazing!

[@warjdani]

FRANNY O'BRIEN just made this recipe using your suggestion because stores here where i live don't sell cashews. Taste just like a regular cookie 💗

[@katherineh.396]

Franny O'Brien what brand of almond butter did you guys use?

[@marc3095]

Katherine H i used costco, really good!

[@jge8144]

I used peanut butter instead. Tasted great!

[@6hypnone]

@Mia Margin def one of the most unhealthy nuts. I like them but bc of how crappy they are for the body, I stay away. Also maple syrup is very high in sugar. Stevia or monkfruit are the best options, but unfortunately kinda taste like crap. So really is no real way to eat sweets without penalty. And I don't even mean weight wise, but health wise. Definite difference.

[@__kikiadore]

The chia egg is brilliant

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Right?! And so easy!

[@KudukUngol]

I've tried making flax eggs in the past with dismal results. But the chia egg looks promising, can't wait to try!

[@stevenalexander4721]

I actually love chia seeds because like most nuts and seeds, they can act as a filler thus helping you to eat less. Also like with many different foods, chia seeds should be not be over consumed by people taking medication for blood sugar and blood pressure. For people with such conditions, you can actually buy a vegan egg substitute that is a power that is just mixed with water.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Happy Friday my friends! I am super excited to share these insanely delicious bars with you. I am telling you... you are going to LOVE them. They are #SOGood! xo-Dani

Hi Dani, Is there an alternative to the nut or seed butter? I'm allergic to both☹.

[@caro620]

Clean & Delicious Bars look awesome! Is there an alternative to coconut flour? Is almond flour ok? Or just regular flour?

[@spannalee8122]

Great - thanks !

[@isamunhos4542]

The cashew butter REALLY makes the difference. The bars are fluffy and delicious! I made once with peanut butter and it was soooo dry and the peanut taste was overpowering.

[@laciefedewa9337]

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

[@jengoodwyn2715]

This is the second time I've made this. Has saved me when the cravings hit!

[@ChristenaRose]

These are SOO good!! I’ve made them twice now, the second time I cut the maple syrup in half- they came out very dry. Follow the recipe exactly!

[@KelseyGuo]

I'm thinking of cutting the maple syrup in half because it was too sweet for my taste, and I feel like adding a splash of non-dairy milk can help with the dryness?

[@JessieI]

Kelsey Minghan Guo, a fruit puree is something I would normally add for more moisture in a baked good, but maybe not this one.

[@KelseyGuo]

MyOwnPath I have a feeling that apple sauce may work! Will try it out and update here.

[@Kingskidzzz]

@@KelseyGuo How'd it work?

[@KelseyGuo]

Kingskidzzz I would say stick to the original recipe! I tried it out w applesauce and the texture changed quite a bit- more like a cake-brownie than cookie bar. I made several other adjustments and came up with a different recipe from it though if you wanna check it out: instagram.com/p/CE7JILdh90e/?igshid=1rgndfc6f04ei

[@MuminLily]

Thank you for this great recipe! Have made it several times with peanut butter and a whole egg instead and they are delicious! Super easy to make.

[@jaisimran8447]

I cannot believe that these are so insanely delicious given the ingredients are super nutritious. Thank you so much for sharing this.... this recipe comes out best with cashew butter because it tastes exactly like actual brownies.

[@MuminLily]

Made these today.. so good! Subbed coconut flour with almond flour, peanut butter instead of cashew butter (looked super runny so just added more peanut butter without the oil from the jar), used an organic grass fed egg instead of the chia egg, didn't have an 8x8 pan so used a smaller round dish (looked raw still after 30 min so turned off oven and let sit til it looked "dry" on top), vanilla bean instead of the extract (to avoid alcohol in extracts), alot of Hu chocolate chunks, and although I think it was well past 10 minutes.. it was still warm when I ate it.. delish. Hope this helps! Not a baker and it was super easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

[@TheAndieSixx]

What I love most about your recipes is that even though I dont follow dietary restrictions i would easily want to try these out and then be able to make things for the people in my life that do!

[@Tom-dg2ws]

I made these but used dates for half of the batch as an experiment. Both halves were amazingly delicious! I couldn't stop eating them! Thank you for the recipe!!

[@kyriakipostolos4540]

I made with peanut butter... they are baking right now... I am INSANELY enjoying cleaning up my bowl.

[@impish22]

Please make more recipes using coconut flour

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Ok, thanks for the suggestion!

[@danabobek8508]

I am a culinary arts teacher and I made these for my teenage students. They LOVED them, and so did I! I followed your recipe exactly except for the time. I baked mine for 22 minutes only. This gave them a lovely fudgy texture you would expect from a fancy brownie. Pro tip: always underbake bar cookies to get that fudgy texture. You can always put them back in the oven if they are truly underbaked. Also, everybody's oven is different; underbaking assures that you won't overbake them through no fault of your own. Oh, and please write a cookbook, Dani!

[@shopppguril]

I just wanted to tell you that I’ve been making your gluten free chocolate chunk cookies for years now and they are such a huge hit - I’ve passed on the recipe to so many ppl! The only cookie I ever make anymore!

[@aimeerivera6625]

shopppguril what is the video for this recipe called??

[@ghadeeralsureh]

I've made these with multiple times with either cashew or almond butter and they're both amazing! Honestly the best healthy treat you could have. Kids love it!

[@joannak2553]

Made these last night and they’re SO good! But I feel like it definitely doesn’t take 30 minutes to bake, I took mine out after 25 and they had burned a little😂 thank you!

[@stevenalexander4721]

Don't forget when baking, times and temperatures can change due to your location. Take for example when you are baking, and it's raining, the air has extra moisture in it and can make your baked goods more gooey and for this reason, you have to use less of your wet ingredients. It's the exact opposite for extremely dry environments, in which you may need to increase your wet ingredients so your baked goods are not dried out and too hard. And then there is the other reason, your oven is not the same as what she used.

[@marisaveilleux8533]

I’m guessing it varies by a few minutes depending on your oven and what kind of dish you use to bake it.

[@bartmazzarella2658]

As a lifetime radio and TV broadcaster I see a star in the making. Not only are you articulate and present extremely well, you have star looks! I'm also impressed by your production qualities, close-ups, etc. My biggest complaint on cooking videos is how many of them draw out every step. You have professional timing, realize what's truly important, and move on, all while flashing a beautiful smile with expressions to match your enthusiasm. You most certainly deserve to be featured on national television! LMK what you think of my comments. BTW, the bars are in my oven right now as I write this. Can't wait.

[@colin4724]

My local grocery store was out of chases butter so I went with sunflower seed butter. It was kinda dry and crumbly when it came out so I added some almond milk to get the creamy cookie dough shape. I also added a little more vanilla and a little more maple syrup to remove the sunflower seed taste.

[@shairisparis300]

I made this a while ago forgot to post but this recipe is amazing taste really great i used an egg and cashew butter

[@huixuan1721]

shairis paris hey, how many egg did you use? Thanks

[@etherealenigma2008]

Used cashew butter and vegan chocolate chips with the chia egg and am in total ecstasy! These are the best things I've eaten in years. No kidding! Love your all your videos and thank you so much for making them vegan friendly. You're one of the few who do that. Don't need to watch any other cooking channel with the quality you have established! Thanks a million!

[@naturekuwaitgardening5814]

This is HONESTLY an AMAZING recipe! It tastes just like a REAL blondie ! 🍪 🍰 .. I used one egg instead of the chia mix , baked the batter for around 25 minutes & it turned out gooey from the inside with a nice thin crunchy shell from the outside! I will try to use the chia mix next time to see if it gets any gooey-er ..

[@KDebora]

Nature Kuwait gardening, thanks. I was wondering about the egg. You answered my question.

Didn't have cashew butter but had almond butter and pecan butter so I mixed it and added a few pecans on top and you are right the hardest part is waiting I can't wait to taste them. Thank you for all your recipes

Courtney Marmo You can also look into flax eggs, as well as chickpea water for egg white subs!

[@CourtneyMarmo]

it's a diet/lifestyle that focuses on eating whole foods, similar eating to what our ancestors ate hundreds of years ago. Basically stay away from grains, soy, refined sugar, dairy and a few other things!

this was one of the best vegan healthy dessert recipes I've ever tried. So so good! The only thing I'd do differently next time is to use half of the maple syrup measurement.

[@joanndavenport8580]

Love the chia seed replacement for an egg. Trying to eat reduced cholesterol foods. Can you do some videos on this subject?

[@tammyicious]

My dough was not like cookie dough ... it was more like cake batter. I used one regular egg instead of chia egg. Because it looked like cake batter I added in another tablespoon of coconut flour. They turned out good using an extra tablespoon of coconut flour. I wonder if my batch was not like cookie batter because my cashew butter had safflower oil (cashews, safflower oil). I will make these again, but will try brown sugar instead of the maple syrup, because yes, I wished they were sweeter. 😋

We need to make it sugar free because my SO is a Diabetic. Finding sugar free chocolate isn’t difficult, but always be sure to check which sugar alcohol they use, some do have a glycemic index! We can also use nut butters without added sugar. However maple syrup is a definite No-Go. We looked into agave nectar instead, (based on some information I found, which turned out to be false), the glycemic index is still too high. My SO has suggested making a simple syrup with Monk Fruit Sweetener. Zero Carbs! We shall let you know how experiments go 😃. Oh, and “Powdered” Almond or Peanut Butters have 90% Less Fat!
