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:

Instant Nut Milk

Calm Mind Protein Shake

Healthy Frappuccino

 

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup or 80g of ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup or 80g of cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup or 130g of coconut oil
  • 1 1/3 or 200g of coconut sugar
  • sea salt to decorate

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).

  2. Beat the eggs and add the coconut sugar, followed by the ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  3. Add the melted (but cooled down) coconut oil and the cacao powder, mix gently as the cacoa powder is fine.

  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.

  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.

  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.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups or 200g of ground almonds
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup or 100g of walnuts
  • 1/3 cup or 70g of melted coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup or 100g of coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F / 175 C (fan oven). Put the coconut oil in a bowl to melt in the oven for a few minutes.

  2. Mash 2 bananas in a large bowl and whisk in the eggs.

  3. Take the coconut oil out of the oven and let it cool down.

  4. Add the coconut sugar/maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground almonds, arrowroot powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Combine well before stirring in the cooled down coconut oil.

  5. Chop up the walnuts in pieces and mix half of the walnuts in the dough. Slice the remaining banana. Pour the mix into a greased cake tin lined with baking paper and decorate with the banana slices and the chopped walnuts.

  6. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 F / 175 C. Let the banana bread cool down completely before eating it. Enjoy!

  7. PS: the cooking time can vary depending on your oven, so use a stick or a knife to check if your cake is cooked through. If you put the knife in the cake and it comes out clean, your cake is ready!

  8. *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. 200g or 2 cups of almond flour can be replaced with 120g or 2 cups of quinoa flour.

Storage Tips
