I have been having crazy chocolate cravings lately, so it was time for a healthy(ish) brownie!

This brownie is free from dairy, gluten, refined sugar, soy and is paleo!

The main idea for this recipe comes from this recipe over at http://empoweredsustenance.com/ however, this version has a few not so healthy things in it, so I have altered it a bit!

Cacao Brownies

  • 1/2 cup minus 1 Tbs. coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs melted coconut oil
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. maple syrup (also room temperature)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Procedure

  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius.
  2. Add coconut flour in to a mixing bowl.
  3. Crack eggs in to a well in the middle, whisk in to the flour mixture with fork.
  4. Melt coconut oil and add to mixture with maple syrup and vanilla and mix well.
  5. Place baking paper in to a pan and pour mixture in. Smooth over until even.
  6. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes until a skewer place in to the middle comes out clean.

Add some cacao nibs to serve or into the recipe for a delicious crunch! 🙂

Eat while hot and goey and ENJOY!
