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
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius.
- Add coconut flour in to a mixing bowl.
- Crack eggs in to a well in the middle, whisk in to the flour mixture with fork.
- Melt coconut oil and add to mixture with maple syrup and vanilla and mix well.
- Place baking paper in to a pan and pour mixture in. Smooth over until even.
- 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!
