Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies
Every time you make these chocolate and sea salt brownies, people will devour them!
We are continuously told that they taste nicer than regular brownies even though they are DAIRY-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE, and GRAIN-FREE.
Ground almonds are a good source of minerals like zinc, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin E – which support the brain, skin, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. They also aid in regulating blood sugar levels.
Cocoa protects the heart, supports immunity, strengthens the intestinal lining against invading microorganisms, and eases gastrointestinal upsets! Coconut sugar is anti-fungal and will fight gut bacteria, too.
You can really enjoy these brownies without guilt and discomfort – they are good for your health!
Pair our chocolate and sea salt brownies with:
Ingredients
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 2/3 cups or 80 g of ground almonds
- 1/4 cups or 80 g of cacao powder
- 1/2 cups or 130 g of coconut oil
- 1.33 or 200 g of coconut sugar
- sea salt to decorate
Directions
- Step 1:
Preheat your oven at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).
- Step 2:
Beat the eggs and add the coconut sugar, followed by the ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Step 3:
Add the melted (but cooled down) coconut oil and the cacao powder, mix gently as the cacoa powder is fine.
- Step 4:
Pour in a greased muffin tray (I use coconut oil) lined with baking paper. Bake at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven) for 18 minutes.
- Step 5:
Let it cool down and decorate with sea salt flakes.
Enjoy!! I love having these with a cup of coffee. Total treat but not too naughty. - Step 6:
*if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. 80g or 2/3 cup of almond flour can be replaced with 50 g or 2/3 cup of quinoa flour.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.
