Healthy Brownies
Could this be the best brownie recipe ever? I think so … and I mean out of all the brownie recipes, not just the healthy ones! Crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle. Oh yes please!
Ingredients
- 250g unsalted grass fed butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup dark choc chips (72% or more)
- Stevia to taste
- OPTIONAL 1/4 cup rice malt syrup (leave out for a lower carb count)
- 2 heaped Tbsp. raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- A few shakes of Himalayan rock salt (pink salt)
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup almond meal/flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- OPTIONAL About 15 macadamias ‘smashed’ (I put them in a ziplock and hit them (gently) with a rolling pin!)
- Desiccated coconut for serving (optional)
Traditional Method
- Preheat oven or air fryer to a moderate 160C.
- Heat a medium sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan, and add rice malt syrup if using and stevia.
- Remove from the heat and stir in cacao and vanilla.
- Add eggs and stir well.
- Add almond meal and baking powder and mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Gently fold macadamias through mixture.
- Pour into a baking tray lined with baking paper (the bigger it is, the thinner your brownies will be)
- Bake in oven or air fryer for about 25 minutes until done.
- Let sit before slicing (this is easier if left in the fridge overnight)
Thermomix Method
- Preheat oven or air fryer to a moderate 160C.
- In Thermomix bowl, add butter, chocolate chips and rice malt syrup (if using) and melt for about 4 minutes/60C/speed 2.
- Check, and melt for a little longer if necessary.
- Remove MC and add cacao and vanilla through the hole in the lid while stirring gently.
- Continue mixing gently while you add the eggs through the hole.
- Add almond meal and baking powder also through hole in lid.
- Increase slowly to speed 5 for about 4 seconds.
- Reduce to gentle/stir, add macadamias and stir until combined.
- Pour into a baking tray lined with baking paper (the bigger it is, the thinner your brownies will be). I use the baking tray accessory for the Philips XXL air fryer.
- Bake in oven or air fryer for about 25 minutes until done.
- Let sit before slicing (this is easier if left in the fridge overnight)
