The Quest for the Perfect Allergy-Friendly Brownie

Ever since I perfected The BEST Gluten-Free Vegan Brownies, I’ve been on a mission to discover new and exciting ways to elevate them. While a classic fudgy brownie is undeniably amazing on its own, adding extra layers of flavor and texture transforms it into an otherworldly dessert experience. This triple-layered creation is a testament to that pursuit, showcasing how a simple brownie can become a canvas for culinary artistry.

Rest assured, my creative journey with brownies is far from over! I’m constantly dreaming up new delightful toppings and combinations, so make sure to keep an eye out for more innovative recipes. It’s truly a joy to experiment with brownie recipes, especially when starting with a base that is as incredibly fudgy and satisfying as these. They genuinely are my go-to, absolute favorite gluten-free and vegan brownies, providing the perfect foundation for any decadent creation.

Reimagining a Classic: Chocolate and SunButter

In my pre-allergy days, the dynamic duo of chocolate and peanut butter held a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations. The creamy, salty richness of peanut butter paired with deep, sweet chocolate was pure bliss. Discovering SunButter was a game-changer, allowing me to joyfully reinvent this beloved pairing with a safe, delicious, and allergy-friendly alternative. SunButter, made from sunflower seeds, offers a similar creamy texture and nutty flavor profile, without any of the common allergens like peanuts and tree nuts. It has truly opened up a world of possibilities for recreating classic treats that everyone can enjoy without worry.

Choosing Your SunButter: Creamy vs. Crunchy

For this particular Triple Layer SunButter Brownie recipe, I opted to use Natural Crunch SunButter for the filling. The reasoning was simple: with a wonderfully soft and fudgy brownie layer below, I wanted to introduce an additional layer of texture. The subtle crunch of the sunflower seeds in Natural Crunch provides a delightful contrast that elevates the overall experience. However, don’t hesitate to use your favorite variety of SunButter if you prefer. Just a friendly word of caution: I generally wouldn’t recommend the plain Natural SunButter for this specific filling layer, as its consistency might be a bit too runny and could make the middle layer less stable. Creamy SunButter would work beautifully for a smooth, consistent texture.

A Dessert Experience Worth Indulging In

Let’s be clear: these brownies are not for the faint of heart. They are incredibly decadent, rich, and deeply satisfying. My only real warning to you is to make sure you have your favorite safe milk alternative on hand, because you’ll want something cool and refreshing to complement this intensely flavorful treat! I firmly believe that if you’re going to dedicate yourself to dessert, you should absolutely “go big or go home.” There’s truly nothing more disappointing than finishing a dessert and still feeling unsatisfied. These brownies guarantee a blissful, content feeling after every single bite.

I recently had the pleasure of bringing these Triple Layer SunButter Brownies to a dinner party, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Guests raved about their ultra-fudgy texture and couldn’t believe that such a rich dessert could possibly be gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free! It’s a truly rewarding feeling to share a treat that not only tastes incredible but also accommodates various dietary needs. You, along with any fortunate friends or family you choose to share these with, will undoubtedly be amazed by how incredibly allergy-friendly and utterly delicious they are. Prepare for them to become an instant favorite!

Triple Layer SunButter Brownies (Gluten-free, Vegan)

Yield:
9 large brownies

Prep Time:
10 minutes

Cook Time:
20 minutes

Total Time:
30 minutes

A chewy, fudgy brownie topped with a creamy, sweetened SunButter layer and slathered with chocolate ganache will solve any chocolate craving. A triple threat, this triple layered dessert is rich and satisfying. This is free of: gluten, dairy, egg, peanut and tree nuts.

Ingredients

• Brownie Layer:
• 1 and ½ cups gluten free flour
• 1 and ½ cups sugar
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 and ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• ½ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup coconut oil
• 4 flax eggs (4 Tablespoons of ground flax mixed with 10 Tablespoons of warm water)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• SunButter Filling:
• ¾ cup Creamy or Natural Crunch SunButter
• 4 ounces dairy-free cream cheese
• ¼ cup powdered sugar (or more, depending on the thickness you like)
• 3 Tablespoons rice milk
• Chocolate Ganache:
• 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• 1 Tablespoon shortening

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a square 9×9 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients for the brownies.
3. In a small bowl, combine the flax seed meal and the water. Allow it to sit while you melt the coconut oil. In another small microwave safe bowl, put your measured coconut oil. Warm it in the microwave until it is melted. Pour both of the wet mixtures into the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla and stir until everything is incorporated.
4. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, and flatten it with wet or greased hands.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on how fudgy you like your brownies.)
6. Allow them to cool completely.
7. While they are cooling, make the 2nd layer. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine all of the filling except for the rice milk—being sure to scrap the bottom and sides. Slowly add the rice milk, until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you can always add more powdered sugar. You’ll want this quite thick, as sitting on top of the brownies will soften the layer.
8. Spread this onto the cooled brownies.
9. Finally, in a small microwave safe bowl place the chocolate chips and shortening. Melt on medium heat for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring after every time until the chocolate chips are completely melted. Pour the chocolate onto the SunButter layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
10. Place the brownies in the fridge to allow the chocolate ganache to harden. Cut into square and eat. Best if eaten right away. If you need to store them, they freeze great, or may keep for a day or two in an air-tight container.

Tips for Perfect Triple Layer SunButter Brownies

Achieving the perfect multi-layered dessert, especially one that’s allergy-friendly, comes down to a few key techniques. First, ensure your brownie layer is completely cooled before adding the SunButter filling. This prevents melting and ensures distinct layers. Secondly, when preparing the SunButter filling, remember that the consistency is crucial. If it seems too thin, gradually add a bit more powdered sugar until it reaches a spreadable yet firm texture. It should hold its shape well, as it will soften slightly once spread over the brownies. For the chocolate ganache, gentle heating is key – microwave in short bursts and stir frequently to achieve a smooth, glossy finish without burning the chocolate. Finally, allowing ample chilling time in the fridge helps the ganache set beautifully, making for clean, precise cuts and a delightful eating experience. These simple steps ensure your Triple Layer SunButter Brownies look as good as they taste.
