Delicious Grain-Free Chocolate Desserts

Posted:2/1/19
Updated:2/15/21

You’re going to want to start baking these delicious, easy, healthy grain-free chocolate desserts right away! These chocolate recipes are quick and can be made for one or a crowd. You’ll find everything from decadent brownies to simple homemade cakes!

CHOCOLATE DESSERTS!

My favorite. Maybe your favorite too? I really don’t understand people who don’t love chocolate…

But if you love chocolate (or just like) then this roundup of healthier grain-free chocolate desserts is for you.

All recipes are gluten-free, with some being paleo-friendly.

Share with your friends and have a chocolate dessert party!

Tip for Baking Flourless Desserts

When you are looking at grain-free recipes, it can be downright confusing.

You have almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, cashew flour…it’s amazing how many options there are for flourless baking!

Bob’s Red Mill is my go-to for baking ingredients. They have basically everything I need! Whether it’s for gluten-free friends, paleo friends, or my “I just want the real deal” dessert friends – all of their products are high quality and my recipes always turn out extra amazing.

Bonus: Bob really is as cute in real life as he looks on the packaging.

  1. If you start with using high-quality flour, it makes all the difference in the texture and how the dessert turns out.
  2. Don’t swap out a different variety of flour for the one listed in the recipes. When recipes are developed, it takes multiple rounds of testing to get the ratio of liquid to dry ingredients just right to get the perfect baked good. If the ratio is off, then you won’t get as delicious of treats!
  3. Start with one type of flour, then expand and test some new options. For example, start with almond flour as it tends to be common to find in most stores. It’s a simple swap that can sometimes be less noticeable to those eating your creation. Once you feel comfortable, try a new variety, you might be surprised what you like. One of the new favorites around here is definitely the cassava flour pumpkin bread.

Now it’s time to start being some delicious grain-free chocolate desserts!

Brownie Recipes

But OH EM GEE, my friends… You really need some of these brownies in your life. I like to channel my inspiration from the Great Brisith Baking show and drizzle a little chocolate and a dusting of sea salt dusting, but honestly, that’s just me being extra. Brownies are delicious anyway you eat them!

Cassava Flour Brownies

These are some classic cookies that are made grain-free and lack no delicious flavor!

    I think almost 90% of these recipes have chocolate, and I am TOTALLY DOWN for all of them! They all look delicious–nothing wrong with using grains, but I do appreciate the allergen-friendly options! I don’t even carry flours in my home (except for oat flour from ground oats), so it’s more convenient to create flour free desserts to begin with!
