Chocolate brownies
This healthy gluten-free chocolate brownies recipe is one of my favorite treats. I like to have it with coffee or tea in the morning. It’s a low-glycemic index dessert that won’t spike your blood sugar levels.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Line a 20 cm baking tray with parchment paper.
-
On very low heat, combine coconut oil and cacao powder.
-
Add eggs to the above and mix.
-
Add sweetener and vanilla extract, then mix.
-
Add coconut flour and salt; mix until well combined.
-
Add nuts and chocolate chips; gently fold.
-
Bake for 25-30 min, depending on your oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool down and then cut into 8 portions.
-
If you like a salty chocolate taste, you can sprinkle some sea salt when you take it out of the oven or top it with some shredded coconuts, just like I do.
Note
For paleo-friendly recipes: use 3/4 cup of coconut sugar instead of honey.
Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean you can eat the whole thing!
Ingredient quality matters; however, portion and quantity matter just as much.
