Ready for the easiest fluffy gluten free brownie CAKE recipe. And it’s totally plant-based too. You can thank me in the comments 😉

Easy healthy vegan and gluten-free brownie snack recipe

This was supposed to be a buckwheat brownie recipe, until I discovered I was out of buckwheat and teff flour. Luckily, there was some all-purpose gluten-free flour in the pantry. Instead of the traditional brownie recipe, we always make, the switch in flours actually created the most delicious, fluffy, decadent..cake?. More of a cross between a cake and a brownie! So a brownie cake was born!

Another reminder that experimentation in the kitchen is a good thing. Experimentation oftentimes generates some really great recipes. It also can give you a really good idea of how different ingredients behave, taste or why they are important to a recipe.

I have discovered many amazing substitutes and created entirely new recipes this way. While I did not get the rich brownie I was initially going for, I did get a really bomb brownie cake. Don’t fear your kitchen guys, or else you may never know your true potential! If you can, try and experiment or substitute ingredients once in a while. The outcome will oftentimes impress you.

The best part of this recipe is that it is super quick to make. Refined sugar-free, dairy free and totally plant-based. You can also try it with different flours and make it into a cookie or a brownie (by swapping buckwheat or teff for the all-purpose flour) A perfect recipe to make when you don’t have much time and need a winning dish!
