Brownie Recipes That'll Make You Weak In The Knees

So much chocolate.
By

Taste Senior Editor, HuffPost

No matter how many French macarons or buttercream cupcakes  we swoon over (and consume), nothing can take the special place in our hearts that's reserved for brownies. While brownies require no actual pastry-baking skills -- 5-year-old kids can make them with nothing more than a bowl and a plastic spatula -- they satisfy a nostalgic craving for something sugary that's sinfully rich with chocolate.

We love that brownie recipes give us a whole lot of reward with little-to-no stress to make. Plus, there's the fact that there are a million ways to make them, so you never tire of eating them. From the classic chocolate to mocha-spiked to peanut-butter loaded, brownies just don't disappoint -- especially these recipes we have for you below.

Before You Go

The Best Grain-Free, Gluten-Free Baking Mixes
Birch Benders Keto Pancake and Waffle Mix(01 of09)
Open Image Modal
This is an awesome high-protein and high-fiber pancake alternative that uses real ingredients, registered dietitian Marissa Meshulam told HuffPost. There are no weird additives, and they have a fun, coconutty taste.

Get it from Amazon for $9.57. (credit:Amazon)
Bob's Red Mill Grain-Free Mixes(02 of09)
Open Image Modal
This seven-ingredient Paleo Pancake & Waffle Mix is packed with protein and healthy fats, plus it has less added sugar than many grain-based brands, registered dietitian nutritionist Amanda Frankeny told HuffPost. Its made with an almond flour and coconut flour base. You simply add eggs, water and oil, and you get whats promised fluff on the inside and a crispy exterior.

Get the Paleo Pancake & Waffle Mix from Amazon for $14.43.

Experts also love the Blueberry Muffin Mix from the same brand. There are several great grain-free baking mixes on the market, but only a couple have made the top of my list, registered dietitian nutritionist Andrea Mathis told HuffPost. Registered dietitian Toby Amidor agreed, noting the high protein content in this mix. "If youre looking for a grain-free baking mix that contains a great source of protein, this is a good choice since it contains 8 grams of protein per serving, he told HuffPost. I usually like to make my own muffins, but in a pinch I will use a quick and easy mix. It makes delicious muffins. The mix uses gluten-free paleo baking flour, which consists of almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour and tapioca flour, and its sweetened with coconut sugar.

Highkey Keto Blueberry Muffin & Cupcake Mix(03 of09)
Open Image Modal
Homemade grain-free muffins can be tricky, Frankeny said. If youve tried baking them, youve probably run into some funky-textured baked goods. Highkey makes it easier with this mix. It delivers a moist muffin every single time, one that never ventures into dense or soggy territory. This product does include the sugar-replacement allulose and a sugar alcohol, erythritol. Though they add to the flavor, you should be aware of that if youre staying away from low-calorie sweeteners.

Get it from Amazon for $9.98. (credit:Amazon)
Julies Real Paleo Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix(04 of09)
Open Image Modal
These are about as low in sugar as a brownie can come, Meshulam said. The mix uses real, wholesome ingredients to provide you with chocolatey goodness. And theyre truly paleo if thats your thing.

King Arthur Grain-Free Paleo Baking Flour(05 of09)
Open Image Modal
I recently made biscuits with this blend, and they turned out moist and noncrumbly," chef and cookbook author Robin Asbell told HuffPost. "So many gluten-free mixes can become dry once the biscuit cools, but this one didnt. The experts behind the Real Food Dietitians Jessica Beacom, Stacie Hassing and Jessie Shafer also gave this mix a thumbs-up. Weve used this blend in place of wheat flour in recipes, and weve had great results," they told HuffPost.

Get it from Amazon for $7.98. (credit:Amazon)
Livlo Keto Biscuit & Bread Mix(06 of09)
Open Image Modal
We all love a fluffy biscuit, and this mix will get you exactly what you crave, Frankeny said. It uses almond flour, baking powder and sea salt. This buttery, delicious treat does contain a tiny nutritional boost, with 4 more grams of fiber per serving than the leading wheat-based biscuit brand. Try the finished product on the side when serving pot roast, or use it as a quiche crust.

Get it from Amazon for $10.17. (credit:Amazon)
Miss Jones Baking Co. Mixes(07 of09)
Open Image Modal
For anyone who loves the taste and texture of cornbread but is following a grain-free diet, this mix is the perfect go-to. Its made with almond flour and coconut flour," registered dietitian nutritionist Amy Gorin told HuffPost.

Get the Not Cornbread Bread & Muffin Mix from Amazon for $7.99.

One of my favorite better-for-you baking mix companies is Miss Jones, Amidor said. This mix is made with almond flour and is sweetened with erythritol and monk fruit extract.

This mix doesnt produce a weird mouthfeel or chalky taste, Mathis said.
Registered dietitian nutritionist Sharon Palmer agreed, adding, I already think they do a really nice job with their granolas, and no surprise, their grain-free pancake mix is yummy, too.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $22.62. (credit:Amazon)
Simple Mills Baking Mixes(09 of09)
Open Image Modal
"This [Cupcake & Cake Baking Mix] is about as clean as cake can get, Meshulam said. They use coconut sugar, which has a slightly lower glycemic index than regular sugar. The blend of almond and coconut flour is higher in protein, fat and fiber, making this a more nutrient-dense treat.

Get a three-pack of the Almond Flour Cupcake & CBaking Mix from Amazon for $23.97.

Chef Marshall OBrien said his familys breakfasts are frequently powered by pancakes made with the Almond Flour Pancake & Waffle Mix. I have two daughters, ages 7 and 10, and Ill use it for our Saturday breakfasts," he told HuffPost. "The mix is almond-based, with real and few ingredients. Pro tip: The chef sometimes adds a few extras to boost nutrition. Ill add ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or sometimes even cricket powder. I serve pancakes with homemade stewed cinnamon apples, peanut butter or other nut butters, ghee, butter, real maple syrup and assorted jams. Its a tasty treat.
