Double chocolate and tahini fudge brownie
Who doesn't love a rich, fudgy chocolate brownie! But most chocolate brownie recipes are not suitable for people with allergies, intolerances or those who want to stay clear of white sugar. So we set ourselves a challenge to create the most delicious chocolate brownie, which is also gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free and essentially good-for-you! And we added Thankfully Nourished collagen for that extra nutrient richness. But they're not for the faint-hearted - these brownies are rich, scrumptious and deep in flavour from the real chocolate, nuts, espresso and tahini! You only need a small slice to warm your soul!
ingredients
100g coconut oil
65g 70% dark chocolate
1/2 tsp vanilla bean extract
15ml coffee (make it an espresso - a strong coffee shot)
150g rapadura or Coconut Sugar
2 tbsp ground linseed soaked in 65ml water
25g tahini
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
50g buckwheat flour
25g corn flour
2 scoops Thankfully Nourished Collagen
35g Cocoa
65g 70% dark chocolate chips
65g chopped nuts (I often use activated walnuts, almonds & pistachio)
method
Preheat oven to 180C and toast almonds for 8 minutes, then cool and roughly chop
Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square 7cm deep pan with baking paper
Combine flours, Collagen Peptides, salt and cocoa and set aside
Warm coconut oil in a saucepan no more than 50C. Add in the chocolate to oil and allow to sit and melt, then stir
Add vanilla and coffee to coconut oil and stir through
Place sugar in the bottom of mixer bowl and while running on low add chocolate coconut oil mixture
Add linseed water mix to tahini and stir. Then add to mixer bowl slowly until incorporated
Turn up the speed and beat for a few minutes.
Turn the mixer off. Add dry ingredients and mix through by hand with a wooden spoon
Fold through nuts and choc chips
Pour the mixture into pan and spread it out evenly
Bake at 180C for 40 minutes
For best results in cutting the brownie, refrigerate it overnight and you’ll be able to get nice sharp cuts and not squash the brownie.
Hope you enjoy it!
