Is there anything more delightful than a fudgy chocolatey scrumptious brownie? How about a guilt-free, decadent brownie made with espresso? Yeah, I thought that may get your attention.
This super easy recipe makes a fudgy, melt in your mouth brownie with a lovely coffee/espresso flavor that makes me oh so happy. Even better they’re naturally gluten free, dairy free and pretty darn healthy. With only 75 calories a piece you can go ahead and eat half the pan… your secret’s safe with me!
I simply brewed my up my favorite espresso from Gourmesso.com and mixed it along with the other ingredients. All simple better-for-you ingredients, like coconut flour and coconut oil. I used a sugar substitute to keep the calories and sugar low, but feel free to use granulated or coconut sugar.

Healthy Espresso Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil*
- 1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 2/3 cup Lite & Sweet, a blend of Erythritol & Xylitol**
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons ground espresso or coffee
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving a few inches of overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal. Grease the foil and set aside.
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer and add to baking pan. You can also just mix by hand, but using an electric mixer is so much easier.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes and until center is set. Allow brownies to sit for about 20 minutes before cutting, if you can possible resist. I usually stick them in the fridge, so they're ready sooner. Enjoy!
Notes
**Can sub with granulated sugar or coconut sugar.
***Nutritional information calculated using Lite & Sweet.
