I had some leftover young coconut meat after opening a can to make Javanese Rose Dawet and incorporated it into these tropical themed brownies with coconut, almond and mango flavors. You can use whatever chocolate you have about. I used bits and pieces of various flavored chocolate to equal 7 1/2 oz. Some plain 85% cacao, some with mango and some with mint. All the different kinds of flavored chocolate worked together. After all chocolate is chocolate and all chocolate lovers will love this rich, but light brownie. With just almond meal and coconut, this flourless gluten free brownie is super fudgy and light.
If you’re gluten free, try some of these other treats!
Gluten Free Recipes
It is important to let these cool completely before trying to remove from the pan or slice. Without the binding of flour, they will break apart if the proteins are not able to relax and seize.
I am so happy almonds are one of the nuts I am not allergic to and thoroughly enjoyed these brownies!

These brownies are moist and fudgy but with the crackly top of a perfect brownie!
The brownies look so delicious. Use of coconut meal is something new to me. Good one Mir.
the coconut meal with the young coconut really add a fruity light element to these brownies despite the intense dark chocolate
they are delicious – am sure you guys would love them
Coconut meat , mango juice , all sound interesting in this fudge brownie . The different chocolates too must be giving a twist to the flavor . Good one Mir .
like they say necessity is the mother of invention 🙂
We mostly eat the tender coconut meat as such, this is a lovely way to use it. Do you get Coconut meal as well? The brownies look so sinful Mir, I could eat it all in one shot!
coconut meal/powder/fine dessicated coconut is all synonymous even if not sold as coconut meal
very different ingredients in the brownie, they look perfect
delicious looking brownies and gluten free. Anything with coconut is yummy.
