This was my first time attempting to concoct a healthier brownie and I think they turned out rather well. They're chewy and chocolatey, though not quite sweet enough for this sweet tooth! I thank my friend, Jen, for the inspiration. She makes the most delicious sugar-free brownies! Next time I will use better chocolate (without any sugar added) and maple syrup in the place of brown sugar (and probably more than 1/2 a cup).
Ingredients
4 ounces chocolate (this time I used 2 oz semisweet and 2 oz bittersweet, next time I'm going to use 70% cocoa dark chocolate)
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar (next time I plan on using maple syrup instead)
3 eggs
1/2 cup prune purée
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Whisk together flours, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat brown sugar and prune purée until combined. Add 1 egg at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and milk.
Meanwhile, microwave 4 ounces of chocolate in 30 second intervals until melted and lump-free. Pour melted chocolate into wet mixture and blend until combined.
Add half of dry mixture to wet ingredients. Mix well, then add remaining dry ingredients; beat until completely combined.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean-ish (remember there are chocolate chips in the brownies that will have melted).
Once cooled, cut into 16 squares. Enjoy, guilt free!
