Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies

These Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies are an American classic made from nutrient-dense cassava flour and phytonutrient-rich olive oil.

Featured Ingredients

Cassava delivers at least 10% or more of the daily value of 16 different nutrients per 1-cup serving, including vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, protein, and fiber. It is a top 25 food source of 6 different nutrients including vitamin B1, potassium, polyphenols, phosphorus, and vitamin C, in addition to being a non-dairy top food source of calcium!

Olive oil is consistently linked with health benefits, including reducing cardiovascular disease risk (both heart disease and stroke), Alzheimer’s risk, and cancer risk, improving blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, reducing likelihood of weight gain (and maybe even aid in weight loss), reducing joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis, and generally reduce markers of inflammation.

Eggs are full of nutrients! A single serving of 2 eggs provides at least 10% or more of the daily value of 17 different nutrients, with the yolk containing the vast majority of the nutrition.
