I have a love affair with coconut flour and have used this to make this lovely, moreish brownie that has the gorgeous combination of chocolate, coconut and cherry. I saw some plump cherries in the freezer section of the supermarket and thought they would be lovely in a chocolate brownie...and I was right!
This is a great Gluten Free recipe and is not too bad on the carbs either. I have used coconut nectar for the sweetner but you could use another sugar substitute if you don't have it to hand. I covered the top of the brownie with a chocolate ganache...yum! It's not necessary but I was in a ganache mood...as you do..

I made this this afternoon and it looked nothing like your picture! Didn't rise and was more like a biscuit. Am so disappointed.
Such a shame Libby...am not sure what could have gone wrong. Perhaps try it with a liquid sweetner?
Is it correct that there is no baking powder in the ingredients? Or did you have success without it?
I didn't use it and it worked out okay. Feel free to add it though.
These three ingredients were definitely made for each other, weren't they? The perfect marriage, and they look so good. I'm going to give these a go when next I have occasion to have a few people over.
I could not agree more!!
what is ganach please?
It is cream and chocolate. The cream is heated, then poured over chocolate, whisked until smooth. Cool, then spread over cakes, muffins, yummy treats. The quantities are about 250g chocolate, 250ml double cream. Can flavour the ganache too..(rum is lovely!).
