When I’m in the mood for a late-night chocolate craving, this low sodium brownies recipe is my GO-TO dessert!  And what’s better than a dessert you can feel extra good about eating? Boxed brownie mix can contain lots of sodium from added salt and preservatives. Not these treats!

They totally hit the spot when you want something sweet, homemade, and salt-free!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • All Purpose Flour: I used all purpose flour for this recipe. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
  • Cacao Powder: use an unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Unsalted Butter  – we only use unsalted butter in all our recipes, it’s a great way to cut down on your salt & sodium intake with a simple swap.
  • Eggs – We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
  • Sodium Free Baking Powder: Regular baking powder has a TON of sodium – really, check the labels!  We love this low sodium version, for a healthier swap.  And it still makes the fluffiest crepes!
  • Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.

Low Sodium Baking Swaps

Baking can be a fun (and delicious!) hobby, but many baking ingredients to contain high amounts of sodium. Baking soda, baking powders, and butters or milks may have additional added salt or preservatives.

I like to bake with some fantastic swaps which are have low/no salt, and make better versions of the classics! I use a sodium free baking powder for these brownies to get them super light and fluffy with no added sodium!

How Do I Make Brownies with No Salt?

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  3. Add the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Add walnuts, if using.
  4. Pour the batter into the baking dish and place in a center rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked fully through. To test, stick a toothpick into the center of the brownies, and if it comes out clean the brownies are fully cooked.
  5. Allow the brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes, and enjoy!
