Chocolate can be healthy too, especially with this super healthy almond brownies recipe, naturally grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole raw organic almonds ground in the coffee grinder (will give you 3/4 cup ground)
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 200 g organic semi-sweet cooking chocolate
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted at low temperature
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 organic free-range eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a small pot over low to medium-low heat, melt the chocolate.
  2. In a medium size bowl, whisk the eggs until nice and airy. Add the vanilla and maple syrup, mix well.
  3. Once the chocolate is melted in the small pot, remove from heat, add the coconut oil and mix until fully combined. Wait a few minutes to cool down.
  4. Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and maple syrup mixture.
  5. With a rubber spatula, mix in the ground almonds (don't worry if there are a few chunks of almonds left, it'll be yummy), the buckwheat flour and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Mix until well combined.
  7. I lined a 9" x 9" glass oven-safe container with parchment paper to make it easier later.
  8. Pour the brownie mixture into the parchment-paper lined container, and bake at 350 F for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. You don't want to overcook it.
  9. Let cool for at least 20-30 minutes, and enjoy!
