Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup + 2 T coconut oil (can sub for vegetable or canola oil)
  • 225 grams dark chocolate (chopped roughly (I used a 100% cocoa one, for a dark taste))
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 2 large eggs (can sub for 1 flax egg or ener-g egg replacement)
  • 1/4 cup raspberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoon arrowroot powder (can sub for corn starch if not strictly paleo)
  • 1/2 cup Blue Diamond slightly salted almonds (chopped finely (can sub for chocolate chips or chunks))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 pan with greaseproof paper or tin foil, with some overlay for easy removal. Grease it lightly and set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, combine your chopped chocolate with coconut oil and melt together- The mixture should be silky smooth. Add your vanilla extract and mix lightly.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add your eggs and coconut palm sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Add your raspberries, cocoa powder and arrowroot powder and whisk VERY well, until the batter is no longer grainy and smooth. Stir through chopped almonds until fully incorporated.
  • Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre just comes out clean. Do not over bake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan completely. If possible, once cooled, transfer to the fridge to chill for the best texture.
