Gluten-free hazelnut brownie ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 eggs (large)
- 150g of organic dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 (25g) teaspoons good dark cacao powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 150g ground almonds (not too fine)
- 150-200g of organic coconut oil
Separate ingredients
- 200g hazelnuts chopped into pieces
- 50g of organic dark chocolate chips
PS:
- Castor sugar (brown 100g), stevia or xylitol are all optional but you’ll get the same result with sweetness if you use very ripe bananas (sugar is high in ripe bananas)!
- You can change your ingredient variants to include goji berries or raisins and I’ve also used cashews and brazil nuts instead of hazelnuts at the end. For a richer version, you can use organic milk chocolate and if you leave out the baking powder, it makes a delicious dessert.
Method
- Preheat the oven (20mins to 180 degrees)
- Gently heat the 150g chocolate (low heat) on the stove
- Then whizz the rest of the ingredients (except the hazelnuts and dark choc chips) in a blender/Vitamix. I do the almonds in the mix too, because it keeps them from going too smooth or into a nut butter
- Add the melted chocolate into the mix
- Chop up the hazelnuts into pieces and add to the already blended mix
- Chop the 50g of dark organic choc into pieces and add to the already blended mix
- Do not blend further – just mix through with your spatula
- Pour into a tin (not too deep)
- Bake for 20mins on 180 degrees. The mixture must not move on top when you give it a shake – then it’s ready
- Cool and cut into squares
- Enjoy!
