ONE-BOWL SUPER INTENSE BROWNIES

April 02, 2018 by Renee Tavoularis

Ingredients

¼ cup natural nut butter
½ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup nut milk
¼ cup + 2 tbsp melted neutral oil
¾ cup unsweetened good quality cacao powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tsp water, whisk together, set for 10 mins)
¼ cup + 2 tbsp almond or hazelnut flour
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup vegan chocolate chips or chunks 

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, coconut sugar, milk and oil. Whisk until it looks like a grainy caramel.
• Add cocoa powder carefully, whisking until shiny and smooth and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
• Add in vanilla and salt.
• Add flax eggs, mixing until well incorporated.
• Finally, whisk in the flour. As the batter gets harder to mix, switch to a rubber spatula.
• Add the pecans and chocolate chips/chunks.
• Pour batter into the pan and smooth into an even layer.
• For the topping, sprinkle ½ cup pecans evenly over brownies. Press pecans down.
• Bake for 28-32 minutes. Mine took 30 minutes. Cool for 1 hour.
• Optional: when cooled, place in fridge.
• Slice into 16 squares. Decorate with cocoa nibs.
