27 Sep, 2022

Chocolate Brownies. They’re the ultimate “date night, add a dollop of ice-cream and hand me a blanket”-essential.

Make this recipe for breakfast if you want! These indulgent vegan brownies are packed with protein and healthy fats. You’d be foolish not to try them.

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp Chia Seeds
100g Dates*
5g your Favorite Nut Butter
40g Coconut Oil (melted)
50g Cacao Powder
30g Coconut Flour
45ml of unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
80g Agave Nectar
20g ground Almonds
1½ tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
Melted Chocolate Spread

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180c and line a brownie tin with greaseproof paper.

2. Combine the chia seeds and water in a small bowl and set aside – this mixture will thicken and become your egg substitute.

3. In a blender blitz the melted coconut oil, nut butter, plant milk, agave nectar, vanilla essence and soaked dates until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl weigh out the dry ingredients (salt, coconut flour, ground almonds, cacao powder, baking powder).

5. Combine the blender mixture with the dry ingredients and then stir in the chia egg.

6. The mixture will be very thick – don’t worry that’s how its meant to be! Transfer it into a lined brownie tray and cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

7. Leave to cool and then cover with a delicious layer of Melted Chocolate Spread!

8. Indulge!
