This Gluten Free Brownie Cake is so soft and decadent! Made with avocado oil instead of butter, it’s sooo moist and filled with walnuts for an extra dose of healthy fats. It’s quick and easy to make and quick to disappear too 🙂

I was craving a chocolaty, fudgy brownie with the flaky layer of crust on top. But I decided to use avocado oil instead of butter, and almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. The result was this soft, gooey brownie/cake. I call it a brownie cake because when it warms, its texture is a mix between a brownie and a cake. But after refrigerating, it takes a full on brownie texture.

Avocado oil can be tricky to find. One surprising place I can always find it though, is HomeGoods. I have not tried this recipe with substitutions but butter should work just fine if you don’t have avocado oil!

This Gluten Free Brownie Cake gets better and better as it cools. If you refrigerate it overnight, it’s soo good in the morning with some coffee. I love this cake and I know you all will too! Drop a comment below if you make it and let me know how it went for you. Enjoy!
