Ingredients & Instructions:

Brownies:  Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 60g almond flour
• 40g cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 100g Truvia brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 90g chocolate, roughly chopped
• 30g coconut oil
• 90g smooth peanut butter
• 30g maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 flax eggs: 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with 5 tablespoons water, mixture needs to sit for 15 minutes
• OR
• Orgran No Egg, Egg Replace for 2 eggs.  If using this you may need to add a bit of plant milk once mixed.
• 60g no added sugar chocolate chips or roughly chop some low sugar dark chocolate or you can get these from Amazon: https://amzn.to/48uLuXQ
• 70g Walnuts chopped (optional)

What to do

1. If using flax eggs, first prepare these by combining the ground flax with water. Allow to sit for 15 mins while preparing the rest of the batter.  If using egg replacement follow the instructions on the box to make 2 eggs.  The results are better with the Orgran No Egg.
2. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl combine the almond flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
4. In a medium microwave melt the 90g of chopped chocolate. Once melted add in the peanut butter and stir to combine.
5. Allow to cool slightly then stir in the coconut oil, then the maple syrup, vanilla and eggs and whisk until evenly combined.
6. Whisk the dry mixture into the wet until just combined (be careful not to over mix). Then fold in the chopped chocolate and walnuts.  It is at this stage that you’ll know whether you need to add some plant milk – just a tiny bit at a time until you get a slightly wet batter.
7. Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just set in the centre.
8. Allow to cool completely to room temp before cutting into squares.
9. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze and thaw for another time.
