See that picture? Those are AIP brownies. This is the 5th brownie recipe that I’m posting on the blog. And guess what: I’m not sorry. Not even a little. Why? Because brownies are awesome. But also because I want everyone to be able to eat brownies. I’ve got a brownie recipe for you if you’re dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free, and nut-free, but what about AIP brownies?
And that’s where this recipe comes in. I’m really getting into egg free baking lately because my dad cannot eat eggs. I’ve found that tigernut flour works really well in egg-free recipes; it’s actually amazing. So while I was baking some brownies for a lazy Sunday, I might as well make them AIP, too, right?
Totally. These AIP brownies are delish. They are sweet and fudgy but a bit cakey too thanks to the amazingness of cassava flour. Serve with a tall glass of coconut milk!

Hi Heather,
I am sooo happy to have discovered your site. I have teenage daughters that can’t have eggs, gluten/grains, dairy, soy, nuts and a host of other things. It really tough to be in high school and college and not feel isolated and deprived!
The two things I struggle with is bread and baking. They miss both so much! I am going to try your plantain brownies and wanted to try these tigernut/cassava brownies. However, I have daughter allergic to apples. I can’t sub with bananas because another can’t have bananas. Any suggestions of another moist neutral substitute that would work?
I will look forward to your mastery of an allergen free bread 🙂
Thanks!
Brenda
The idea behind the use of applesauce is a fruit puree that contains a lot of fiber to hold the batter together. Can your daughters have pears? You could make a “pear sauce” like you would an applesauce and try that in this recipe. Pureed sweet potato might work, too. Also, have you seen my AIP crusty bread recipe? It has a plantain and cassava flour base: http://cookituppaleo.com/aip-crusty-bread/
