My healthier version of chocolate brownies. These rich and fudgy chocolate brownies are made with healthy ingredients including avocado, eggs, coconut oil, cacao and hazelnuts, sweetened with maple syrup. Free from gluten/grains, dairy, soy and refined sugar.
In your Vitamix blender add all of your ingredients (except the hazelnuts for topping), placing your wet ingredients in first.
Blend at low speed until smooth and well combined (use a spatular to scrape down sides if needed)
Pour brownie batter into a small, square cake tin lined with baking paper. (Use a spatula to get all of your batter out).
Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.
Bake in oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
Allow to cool. Slice into squares.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
You can also sub hazelnut meal with almond meal.
To keep you nut meals such as hazelnut meal and almond meal fresh, store in your refrigerator. I have a dedicated space in my Mitsubishi Electric Fridge where I keep all of my nut, seeds and nut meals.
