Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canola oil, plus more for pans
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons garbanzo and fava bean flour
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot
- 1 cup unrefined sugar or 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons agave nectar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup store-bought unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee or hot water
- 2 cups vegan gluten-free chocolate chips, such as Tropical Source
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush 3 dozen mini-muffin pans with oil; set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, potato starch, arrowroot, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder; set aside. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, 1/2 cup canola oil, and vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in coffee until it forms a batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Place 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup. Transfer muffin pans to oven, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding.
Can be made for those with corn allergies as well if you use a baking powder with potato starch instead of cornstarch

I found these a bit too cakey, I prefer a fudgier brownie. There was a really good chocolate taste though! I used baking chocolate instead of cocoa powder and reduced the flour. I also added frosting! I posted the recipe on my blog: The Mini Canteen.
These rock! We had some friends over with their small children, and the kids LOVED the brownies. I was also lucky enough to visit Baby Cakes in NYC... all of her stuff is amazing! So nice to have gluten free that isn't gummy!
Hello everyone!
Regarding gluten free recipes...please check out gluten free girl's blogspot. She has also recently published a book. Priceless!
I can't have potato starch or arrowroot or cornstarch. Can I use tapioca flour or something else?

Instead of bean flours, I substituted with 3/8 cup of sweet sorghum flour, 3/8 cup white rice flour, and 2 tablespoons corn starch and the recipe turned out wonderfully!
I have an anemia that does not allow me to eat fava beans which is in garfava and fava flour. Has anyone used a substitute that is still gluten free?
Diago... I too am allergic to wheat, rye, oats and barley... I think you can find the garbanzo flour at health food stores. They usually have a variety of different type of gluten free flours. Goodluck!
My husband and I are allergic to eggs, dairy, sugar and wheat so we would LOVE to find more accessible recipes like this one!
My Mom is allergic to wheat, rye, oats and barley and it is difficult to find recipes for her. I would love to see more recipes like this one on your web-site.
Where would I find the following ingredients; garbanzo
